Question 27

What is the difference between a Membership and a License?

Accepted Answer

Membership – With an active membership on [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/c/soundplusua) or BuyMeCoffee, you can use all of our music during the entire period of your membership. Even if your membership ends later, all videos and projects published while you were a member will remain safe and unaffected.

License – A [license](https://cutt.ly/FBmoiob) is purchased for a specific track (or tracks) and grants you the right to use it according to the license terms, usually forever. Licenses can also be tailored for different purposes such as films, TV, radio, video games, apps, and other commercial projects. This makes licenses the best option when you need official, long-term rights for professional or large-scale use.

Question 28
