Business licence - what it covers

Everything the Business licence allows, and everything it does not. This is the same text that appears in the licence document you receive when you buy.

Sold as a subscription rather than a one-time licence.

  • Good for: Your organisation's marketing, social, web, corporate video, podcasts and its own events.
  • Not for: Client events, retail screens, out-of-home, festivals, games or broadcast.

What it covers

  • Everything included in the Digital license, for the licensee organization.
  • Synchronization in marketing, social media, web, and corporate video content.
  • Video shown at the licensee organization's own events: its trade-show booths, conferences, keynotes, product launches and corporate summits.
  • Digital-only paid advertising up to $10,000 of total media spend per campaign.
  • Up to 5 linked channels.
  • YouTube Content ID claims are released per video: submit the video that uses the track - link your channel to pick it from your uploads, or just send us the video link - and the claim is cleared in about three days, so that video keeps its monetization. Claim clearing is available while a subscription is active, and permanently for tracks bought with a one-time licence.
  • Worldwide territory, in perpetuity.

What it does not cover

  • No advertising campaign above $10,000 of total media spend.
  • No events produced for a client or a third party, no retail or showroom display screens, and no out-of-home advertising - that requires an Expanded license.
  • No film festival submissions or screenings - Expanded.
  • No use in a video game - a game is licensed per registered title, under a Game Track or Game Soundtrack license.
  • No television, radio, OTT/CTV/VOD or theatrical use - All-Media.
  • No sublicensing.
  • No use of the music to train AI or machine-learning models.

If your use falls outside this, you are not stuck - move up a rung, or use Request Custom Quote for anything the self-serve licences do not reach.
