Let’s understand the extended license and regular license in simple words, a Regular License lets you use an item for one project, whether it’s for personal or business use. For example, if you buy a WordPress theme with a regular license, you can use it to build one website.

On the other hand, an Extended License gives you more freedom. It allows you to use the item in multiple projects, either for personal or commercial use. For instance, if you buy a photo with an extended license, you can use it in several different projects or even sell it as part of your own product. This makes the extended license more flexible for bigger needs.

Who Should Buy a Regular License and Who Should Buy an Extended License

Let’s understand which will be the perfect license for you. The answer varies from person to person, it depends on your purpose for buying that product. It’s important for you to determine whether you require Code Canyon’s regular license or extended license. 

Let’s find what type of license will be perfect for you!

Regular License

• Freelancer- If you are a freelancer and purchasing any product from Code Canyon but are confused about buying a regular license or extended license, the answer is that a regular license will be more beneficial for you as you want to use that product for your client’s single project only. 

• Small business- If you are a small business owner purchasing any kind of digital assets for your business from code Canyon then a regular license will be perfect for you as you will be the end-user of that product and not going to re-sell that digital product.

• Other- anyone else like a student or Hobbyist who purchases it for any project or personal use or anyone like a blogger or business owner who purchases it for personal use or personal promotion is not required to buy an extended version.

Extended License

• Web & App development company- A regular license will be more suitable if the company is using an item for a single client's project or a single end product but If the company intends to use the item in multiple projects, for multiple clients, or in commercial products that they plan to sell then extended license will be more suitable for it. 

• Startups- If a start-up is working on a single project then Code Canyon’s regular license will be enough, but if the start-up is working on multiple projects then an extended license will be preferable as it gives more flexibility, an option to resell the project, etc

• Marketing agencies- marketing should go for Code Canyon’s extended license version as they use the same assets for multiple projects. Code Canyon’s extended license offers more flexibility and can be cost-effective in this type of situation.  

Limitations of a regular license 

Code Canyon’s products with regular licenses can be super useful but it also comes up with some limitations such as 

Single Project Use: with a regular license, a product can only be used in one final product you create, like a website or app. You'll need to re-purchase the product and have a separate license for each additional project.

No Redistribution: You're not allowed to share or sell the item you downloaded, even if you've made changes to it. You can't give it to someone else or let others use it. Once you download something, it's just for you to use, and you can't pass it on to anyone else.

Legal Compliance: While CodeCanyon's Regular License offers great features, it's important to remember that exceeding its limitations can lead to legal complications. Not following Code Canyon’s rules and guidelines can lead to legal actions against you 

Limited Commercial Use: While you can use the item for commercial purposes, it can only be within a single project you create for your business. In some scenarios, only you can use it multiple times. 

Becomes more expensive: For now, a regular license seems cheaper but in the long run it becomes expensive. Imagine you need a specific plugin for multiple projects, with a regular license you need to buy it again every time but with an extended version, you can use it for multiple projects.

Conclusion  

Choosing the correct license on CodeCanyon depends on your needs. The regular license is good for single projects, like for freelancers, small businesses, or personal use. It’s simple but has limits such as one-time use and restrictions on sharing or reselling. The extended license is better for larger needs, like for agencies, startups, and companies doing multiple projects. It allows multiple uses and commercial reselling, offering more flexibility and value in the long run. This helps you get the most out of your purchase while staying compliant with legal terms.
