Deliver where you are cleared.
Match each release to the stores and territories its license allows, and avoid sending music where it could be rejected or penalised.

01 Why it matters
Stores ask for proof. Have it ready.
Remixes, covers, samples and AI-assisted tracks need permission from the people who own the original work. Stores can remove releases, hold earnings or apply penalties when that permission is missing, has expired or does not cover the store.
Follow platform policies.
Keep the documents stores ask for during review, so you can answer a request quickly with the right file.
Know what you can release.
See at a glance which licenses are active, which expire soon and which need more information.
02 What you can do
Fast to manage. Easy to check.
Licenses & Legals keeps every clearance in one list for you and your team, with dates, licensors and the releases each document covers.
Yours and your team’s.
Manage your own licenses and those of the artists and labels you work with, from one account.
Valid from, valid until.
Set the start and end of each license, or mark it as perpetual when it never expires.
One license, many releases.
Apply an approved license to several releases at once instead of uploading the same file again.
Edit or replace.
Change the details without a new review, or replace the document and our team reviews it again.
03 Scheduled takedowns
When the license ends, so does the release.
Many licenses only last for a set period. Schedule a takedown for the date your rights end, so the release comes down on time and you stay within the agreement and store rules.
License ends 31 Dec
Takedown set for 31 Dec
The release is removed when your rights end. No missed dates, no release left live without permission.
License ends 31 Dec
Release still live in March
Music stays on stores after the license expires, which can lead to claims, removed releases or penalties.

05 How it works
From document to cleared release.
Four steps in Allot Lines Center. Add a license once, link it to your releases and keep it up to date.

-
04Review
Stay on top of it.
Our team reviews the document. Follow its status, update details and plan takedowns before the license ends.
Which releases need a license?
Any release that uses someone else’s work: remixes, covers, samples and AI-assisted tracks that rely on third-party material. Add the permission you received before you deliver the release.
Can I use one license for several releases?
Yes. Once a license is approved, use Bulk Apply to link it to every release it covers.
What happens when I edit a license?
Editing details such as the license type, licensor or notes does not need a new review. Replacing the document sends it back to our team for review.
Why schedule a takedown?
If your license ends on a set date, the release should come down on that date. Scheduling the takedown keeps you within the agreement and the stores’ rules.
Can my team manage licenses too?
Yes. Licenses & Legals shows the licenses for your own releases and for the artists and labels you manage in your account.
Does it cost extra?
No. Licenses & Legals is included with your Allot Lines account.
