Understanding the Fine Print
When purchasing digital products online, choosing the right license type can be confusing. To help you stay legally compliant and select the best option for your business, we break down the differences between Single and Extended licenses on CodeStar.
Single License
A Single License grants you the right to use the software on a single domain or client project. Key rules include:
- The end product must be distributed for free (i.e. you cannot charge your clients or end users to access the platform).
- Best for personal blogs, portfolio sites, and single business landing pages.
Extended License
An Extended License is required if you plan to charge end-users or distribute the script commercially. Key rules include:
- You can sell access as a subscription (SaaS model).
- Best for commercial web portals, software products you charge for, and high-scale enterprise applications.
- Includes full access to future updates, VIP support, and multi-domain installations.
