Opting-In to the Extended License

The Envato Marketplaces offer buyers two types of licenses to purchase items under – Regular and Extended.

By agreeing to become an author you allow your items to be sold under a Regular License by default. However, you can also opt-in to sell your items under an Extended License. By opting into the Extended License, you are allowing your items to be licensed for unusual purposes for a larger sum of money.

The benefits of allowing your items to be sold under the Extended License are that:

1. They become more useful to buyers with specific needs.
2. You can make more money out of your item, because a single sale of an Extended License is worth between 5 and 50 times the regular price of an item.

To find out what selling your items under and Extended License means, you should read the precise licensing terms (and the simplified overview), plus the Regular and Extended License Usage Examples for each marketplace you sell your items on:

1. GraphicRiver: Regular and Extended License Usage Examples
2. VideoHive: Regular and Extended License Usage Examples
3. ActiveDen: Regular and Extended License Usage Examples
4. ThemeForest: Regular and Extended License Usage Examples
5. AudioJungle: Regular and Extended License Usage Examples

If you wish to offer buyers your items under an Extended License, you will need to opt-in to the license.
