About Individual Licenses


Jamendo Licensing offers individual licenses designed for personal and small-scale commercial use, making it easy for content creators, freelancers, and small businesses to legally use music in their projects. These licenses cover a wide range of applications, including online videos, podcasts, social media content, and corporate presentations. Each license provides access to high-quality, royalty-free music and ensures that you're protected from copyright issues. With clear terms and affordable pricing, Jamendo’s individual licenses are a hassle-free solution for adding professional-grade music to your creative work.

Through Jamendo Licensing, you can select an Individual License, which is a one-off purchase for one of the tracks featured on our website, linked to a single project.

Royalty-free is a popular term, but it’s often misunderstood. It doesn’t mean the music is free of charge, instead, it means that once you purchase a license, you don’t have to pay ongoing royalties or fees for repeated use.


Choosing the Right License Type


At Jamendo Licensing, we offer a range of license types to suit different needs and project scopes, including Standard, National, National Full, Enterprise, and Enterprise Full licenses. 

Not sure which one is right for you? Simply click on each license type below to explore what it covers, from usage rights and distribution limits to broadcast options and more. This will help you choose the license that best fits your project—whether it's for a personal video, a national advertising campaign, or a global corporate production.


Catalog Licenses Terms

While each license type is governed by distinct terms and conditions, certain provisions are universally applicable across all license types: 

One Catalog License grants the rights of synchronization of one track

  • Synchronization involves the precise coordination of a track with another element, for instance, when the audio track is aligned with the video, allowing both to play in unison.
  • The track must be used in a synchronized form with other content (e.g. other audio content, video, images, website, public performance).
  • The communication of the track to the public without synchronization is prohibited.

One Catalog license allows the synchronization of one track with one project

  • A project refers to a unique piece of audio, audiovisual, or multimedia content (like a single video, an audio spot, a video game, or a mobile application).
  • One license allows the synchronization of one track with one project. For the use of a track in two projects, two licenses are thus required.
  • One exception to the project definition exists with the Standard license.

The Catalog license grants the right of reproduction and communication to the public

  • The Catalog license grants you the right to reproduce and publicly communicate the project linked to the synchronized track.
  • The scope of reproduction and communication is defined differently for each license type.​

The Catalog license is perpetual

  • The Catalog license has no date of expiration and does not require renewal.
  • The license has perpetual validity for the project to which the track is synchronized.

The Catalog license is non-exclusive

  • Other customers can buy a license for the same track.

The Catalog license is transferable

  • You can transfer the license rights to the completed project to a third party (e.g. your client).
  • The third-party (e.g. your client) then receives the right to reproduce and communicate the final project, synchronized with the track, to the public.
  • The third-party does not have other rights to use the track. They can not extract the track from the project.

The Catalog license cannot be sub-licensed

  • You cannot sell the rights to the license to a third or more party.

The Catalog license can be upgraded

  • In the beginning, a simpler license could meet the necessary rights for your project. Should the project later be shared through multiple channels or reach a wider audience (check the stipulations of each license), you might need to obtain a more advanced license. In such a case we can upgrade your license, invoicing only the difference between the two licenses.

Upgrading an Individual License

We understand that project scopes are often subject to modifications, so we offer the flexibility to upgrade a purchased license to a superior version without any problem. 
There are two key conditions for an upgrade of an Individual License:

  1. The project in which the work is used must remain the same, with only the broadcast and/or commercial scope being expanded.
  2. The upgrade request must be made within the same calendar year as the original purchase.

Please note that upgrades cannot be processed directly through the Jamendo Licensing website. To request an upgrade, please contact us using our contact form.
Make sure to let us know:

  • The type of license you need
  • The invoice or transaction number for the track you want to upgrade
