Licensing FAQ
What is a Sonilo license certificate and how do I get one?
Short answer
A license certificate is a document Sonilo issues for audio generated on Pro, Premium, or Enterprise. It records what was generated, under which plan, what you may do with it, and where the training data came from, and it carries a code that anyone can verify at sonilo.com/verify-license. To get one, open the track in your library and choose Download commercial license.

How to get one
- Generate the track or sound effect on Pro or above.
- Open it in your library.
- Choose Download commercial license. It is issued immediately, and one request licenses every audio file in that generation — each with its own certificate and serial.
If your card payment has failed, licensing pauses until the card is updated; nothing else about the account changes.
How someone checks it
They enter the code at sonilo.com/verify-license and see the status (valid, revoked, or not on record), the rights granted, the licensee, and an audio fingerprint of the file. The terms that apply are the ones in force when the certificate was issued.
Free and Creator
Certificates are not available for Free or Creator output, because that output does not carry commercial rights. Upgrading later does not retroactively license a track; generate it again on the paid plan.

Make something you can publish
