Micro-Licensing FAQs (For Users)

What is Micro-Licensing?

Micro-Licensing (also called A la Carte Licensing) allows end users to purchase licenses for tracks directly within your Synchtank system, without requiring any human interaction. It's designed for smaller-scale licensing use cases such as YouTube videos, adverts, and other content — with customisable terms, prices, and license agreements.

How do I license a track?

You can license a track directly from the front-end of your Synchtank site. To do so:

1. Find the track you want to license
2. Click the three dots (...) on the track
3. Select License
4. Depending on the licensing model enabled for your account, one of the following will appear:
   • Form Licensing — a form requesting your information so the team can follow up to discuss terms and pricing
   • A la Carte Licensing — a pop-up with different licensing options and prices to purchase directly
   • Subscription Licensing — access to license tracks as part of your subscription plan

What is Form Licensing?

Form Licensing is the standard licensing method. You fill in a form with your details, and the team will get in touch to discuss the type of license you need and the pricing.

What is A la Carte Licensing?

A la Carte Licensing allows you to purchase a license for a track directly — no need to contact the team. Select your preferred options (such as term length and territory) and complete your purchase in a few clicks.

What is Subscription Licensing?

Subscription Licensing allows you to pay a recurring fee that gives you access to license as many tracks as your subscription allows.
