Does the Unlimited Music Subscription cover TV, broadcast, radio, film or in-app use?

Updated over 5 months ago

Our Unlimited Subscriptions include either Creator License coverage or Standard License coverage.

Our Creator Unlimited Subscription provides Creator License coverage, which includes many popular types of online use, such as videos on your own personal or company websites, social media, video-sharing platforms like YouTube and Vimeo, and podcasts. It also covers student projects such as student films. Usage cannot be for client work/commercial use.


Our Standard Unlimited Subscription includes Standard License coverage, which covers the same project types as the Creator License, but allows client work/commercial use.
You can still upgrade any of the Creator or Standard Licenses you download with your subscription to Premium or Business by going to the order detail page for that license. Click the ‘Upgrade License’ button next to the track you want to upgrade and you’ll only need to pay the difference in license fees.
