License types
Non-exclusive license
Standard BeatPass download license for eligible users. Multiple artists can license the same beat, and attribution is required.
Exclusive license
One-time purchase for eligible tracks. After purchase, no new non-exclusive licenses are issued for that beat.
Fast comparison
| Topic | Non-exclusive | Exclusive |
|---|---|---|
| How you get it | Download an eligible track | Buy Buy Exclusive on an eligible track |
| Other artists can still use the beat | Yes | No new licenses after purchase |
| Attribution required | Yes | Check the certificate terms |
| Content ID registration | No | Allowed under current default terms |
| Large live performances | No, capped at 50 attendees | Allowed under current default terms |
| Film/TV/broadcast/commercial/video games | Not allowed | Allowed under current default terms |

The exact exclusive terms come from the license preview and the certificate generated for that purchase. Do not assume every track uses the same custom terms forever.
How the current flow works
Choose a track
On the track page, use Download for standard access or Buy Exclusive when the track is sold that way.
BeatPass checks access
Downloads require login, valid download access, and a current subscription state. Sold-exclusive tracks are blocked for everyone except the exclusive buyer and the track owner.
Your audio or purchase completes
Standard downloads deliver the track file and generate a license certificate automatically. Exclusive purchases go through Stripe card checkout and generate an exclusive license on success.
Find your license
Open your certificate from the post-download flow, the track page, or Your library → Licenses.
