Frequently Asked Questions: Licensing

What is meant by license, and how to use it?

After your successful purchase, you will instantly receive an email with a link to activate your account (if this is your first order). Once connected, you will find your files in your user account's "My files" tab. You get the following files with your purchase:

You get the following files with your purchase:

  • The title's PDF license agreement.
  • A unique license ID for each of your orders.
  • The uncompressed PCM/AIFF 24bit/48Khz audio file(s)
  • The complementary audio stems or alternative versions (if any) to the main track, in the same formats as the main files.
  • A 16bit/44Khz AAC/M4A compressed version of the main track.
  • Some useful information for quality control, such as a spectrogram and audio statistics.

These files come in a zip container (which does not affect the final audio quality), except for your license ID provided separately.

The licenses are granted lifetime for three main usage types, depending on your project's nature and scale. There is no limit to use and reuse. As a license owner, you will never pay additional fees (royalties) for using the music or audio tracks you have purchased. The primary intended use is for synchronized audio, incorporated in a finished project, meaning the music should always be associated with other media.

For detailed informations about the licenses, please visit the Licensing page.

Please note that only the Extended and Premium licenses grant you this right. You must provide your client with a copy of your license agreement and the associated license ID. In case they have to establish the origin of the audio.

However, as mentioned in your license agreement, you cannot transfer, lease or sub-lease your license to your client.

Sorry, this shouldn't happen since I do not register my music tracks with YouTube's Content ID system. However, if this happens, please use the Contact Support form and choose the subject "Copyright claims." Then follow the instructions provided.

In addition, I also invite you to fill in the "Your YouTube channel ID" field in your user account. See the related FAQ.

The International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) establishes the identity and origin of individual audio recordings.

For example, this code can be helpful if you, or one of your clients, need to prove the origin of a music track you use in your video. You will end the discussion by providing it along with your license agreement.
