Licensing AI music for client work
Clients do not ask who made the music. They ask what they are allowed to do with it, and who says so.
Personal and commercial are different products
Personal use covers your own videos, a family film, a school project: it is not a licence to deliver to a client.
Commercial use covers ads, client deliverables, in-store playback and monetised channels. Choose it before generation; a personal track cannot be converted later.
What goes on the file
A licence record that names the track, the tier, the date and the permitted use.
An identification code where the buyer needs one, so the same track can be tied back to its record.
The terms as they stood at payment. Later price or policy changes do not rewrite an old job.
What to hand the client
The audio file, the licence record and the code in one folder. That is the whole package; anything else is optional.
If the client has a legal team, send the licence page rather than a summary of it.
Checklist
Commercial tier selected before generating.
One track, one licence record, one code if needed.
No resale or sub-licensing: the client gets use rights, not the right to sell the track on.
