How do I generate a certified license for my samples?

This article covers how to obtain your certified license(s) for purchased samples.

Most distributors will require you to disclose the use of any licensed third-party materials in your content, even if they are royalty-free. A certified license from Splice can be provided for this purpose.

You can obtain a certified license for any sounds you download from Splice, so long as the Sounds were obtained in accordance with the Terms of Use.

Before you start

  • Make sure you are signed in to your Splice account

  • Have the name of the sample that you are licensing

Steps

  1. Open the Splice desktop app or splice.com website

  2. On the lefthand side under "Library," click on "Sounds"

  3. Locate the sample(s) you need the license for in your library

  4. Select the 3 dots to open options

  5. Select "Generate Certified License"

You'll then be prompted to enter your full legal name and your artist/producer name. You can then download a PDF of the license directly through the app/website, and we'll send one to your email as well.

If you need to download multiple licenses at once, you can do so on the Splice desktop app.

In your library, select the sample(s) using the checkbox option on the left then select "generate certified license on the righthand side."

This is a video walkthrough of how to locate, select, and generate your licenses for purchased Splice samples.

Troubleshooting / Limitations

  • If the sample you need a license for is no longer available on the Splice catalog, and you purchased the sample, you can generate the license by searching your Library.

    1. Navigate to your Sounds Library

    2. Hit the Search icon next to the shuffle icon

    3. Type the name of the sample

    4. Select the sample using the checkbox

    5. Select the 3 dots to open options

    6. Select "Generate Certified License"
      ​

    This is a screenshot showing where to locate the Search Icon when searching in "Your Lirbary" instead of the Main Search/Browse. This used to locate samples within a user's library directly and is useful when searching for samples that have removed from the public catalog.

  • Please note, there are a few limitations for generating sample licenses:

    • A maximum of 100 licenses can be generated per 24 hour period

    • A maximum of 50 individual samples can be included on a single (multi-sample) license PDF

    • You must already own all of the sample(s) you are generating licenses for. If you use multi-select to generate a PDF license for multiple samples, you will not see the "Generate certified license" option unless you have already purchased all of the selected samples.
