Every digital product on WhatDigit is sold under a specific license that defines how the buyer can use the item. This guide explains the two primary license types offered on WhatDigit and helps you choose the correct one for your needs.

1. What Are Licenses on WhatDigit

A license is a usage agreement that explains where and how you may use a purchased digital product.
It protects both the buyer and the creator by defining the allowed usage, restrictions, and rights included with each item.

WhatDigit offers two main license types:

Regular License
Extended License

2. Regular License

A Regular License is suitable for personal use, individual projects, and non commercial work.

You may use the item in a single project.
You may use it for personal use or internal work.
You may use it for clients as long as the end product is not sold.
You may modify or customize the item.

You may not use a Regular License for commercial resale or distribution.
You may not use it in a product where end users must pay to access it.

This license is recommended for students, freelancers, individual creators, and personal projects.

3. Extended License

An Extended License includes everything in the Regular License but adds permission for commercial use.

You may use the item in a single commercial project.
You may sell or monetize the final product.
You may include the item in a product where end users pay to access it.
You may modify and integrate the asset into commercial products.

You may not resell the item as a standalone file.
You may not share the file in a way that competes with the original creator.

This license is recommended for agencies, businesses, large projects, and monetized apps or platforms.

4. Key Differences Between Regular and Extended Licenses

Purpose
Regular License is for personal or internal use.
Extended License is for commercial or monetized use.

Revenue
Regular License does not allow selling the final product.
Extended License allows selling or monetizing the final product.

Usage
Both licenses allow the item to be used in only one end project.

Extended License allows distribution only when the asset is built into a new final product.
Neither license allows selling the original file as it is.

Select the Extended License if your final product will generate revenue or be sold.

Choosing the correct license ensures legal compliance and protects you from future restrictions.

8. License Certificate

After purchasing any item, you can download a license certificate from your Purchases section.
The certificate contains your license details, purchase code, and proof of ownership.
