What is multi-user sound effects licensing?
Purchasing a multi-user license will allow you to use the sound effects on more than one workstation and by more than one person. A multi-user license is also known as a “network” or “site” license. When you purchase one or more of our sound effects collections you are actually purchasing a license for a single user, this is the standard license. You are purchasing the legal right to use The Recordist sound effects collections for a single user.

The Recordist multi-user license plan is modeled after the software industry, where if you buy a piece of software for your entire company to use, you must obtain licenses to cover each user.

If you have more than one user who plans to use or has access to the sound effects you are licensing, it will require a multi-user license. Multi-user licensing is not at all complicated. Once you figure out how many users will be accessing the sound effects collections you would like to purchase, fill out the form below and The Recordist will set up a custom multi-user license package for you and your company. The Recordist will then contact you with specific information and cost for your license package.

Any person who accesses and uses any or all the sound effects from a collection is considered a user. If you’ll be consistently working on projects in conjunction with other users you will need a multi-user license for your facility.

If you are going to be the only person who is going to be working with the sound effects then a single-user license is right for you. If you have 2+ users or require networked access to our sound effects libraries, you will need to obtain a special multi-user license not covered in our standard single user EULA.

PLEASE NOTE: Any and all Product Bundles are excluded from the pricing model of the multi-user license. License cost will be calculated using the single product retail price.

The Recordist does not require usage reporting with any of its sound effects libraries.

SPECIAL NOTE: There is a new option to purchase a multi-user license. If you require a license covering multiple users adjust the Quantity before clicking “Add to cart” to the number of users you need and you are all set!
