How Licensing Works on BeatPass
Non-Exclusive Licenses
Automatic standard licenses granted when subscribers download your beats.
Exclusive Licenses
Producer-configured licenses with your own price, terms, and deliverables.
Two License Paths
Standard Licensing
When a BeatPass subscriber downloads your beat:- BeatPass issues a non-exclusive license automatically
- The terms are standardized across the platform
- The beat can still be licensed by other users
- You earn through BeatPass subscription revenue sharing
Exclusive Licensing
When someone buys your beat exclusively:- BeatPass issues an exclusive certificate using the terms you configured
- The beat is marked Sold
- New standard downloads stop
- Existing non-exclusive licenses remain valid
- Your exclusive sale is recorded in your producer finances
Track-Level Licensing Models
On the track form, BeatPass currently shows three licensing models:| UI Label | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Standard Licensing | Subscription downloads only |
| Standard + Exclusive | Standard licensing stays on, and the beat can also sell exclusively |
| Exclusive Only | BeatPass does not offer standard downloads for that beat |
If you enable an exclusive-capable model, BeatPass also requires an exclusive contact email and exclusive status.
