Universal License for PRO-free music
As one of the first providers, we’re pleased to introduce the new Universal License for PRO-free music. This universal license is aimed primarily at customers who want to use a track almost without limitation — without having to worry about licensing pitfalls. It allows the music to be used by companies affiliated with the license holder or by B2B partners.
Especially interesting for:
- Corporate groups with subsidiaries and sister companies
- Companies with distribution partners and franchisees
- Advertising agencies with multiple clients
Unique strengths:
- Use not only for the license holder’s own projects, but also for all companies in a B2B relationship with the license holder
- Use the music in any number of videos, podcasts, and other media content
- Pay once, use the track forever
- Worldwide publication of the media content
- Publish the media content across all channels (online & offline)
Limitations of the Universal License:
- The music may only be used as part of a valid media production (see project types)
- The music may not be resold or otherwise distributed (e.g. in templates, website builders, libraries, platforms, automated systems, or similar)

Frequently asked questions about the Universal License:
For advertising agencies, a B2B relationship already exists with a single assignment, provided that the use of the music complies with the terms of this license; an ongoing business relationship is not required.
For corporate groups, a B2B relationship is also deemed to exist if legally independent subsidiaries, sister companies, or parent companies are involved, provided they are organizationally or economically connected. A specific assignment in the traditional sense is not required in this case.
Distribution partners and franchisees are likewise considered B2B partners, provided they distribute or use the products, services, or brands of the licensee on the basis of a contractual relationship.
