# Is the music licensed for commercial use?

Yes — music you generate in Cast comes with a commercial license on Plus and Max, and every export made on those plans carries its own license record. Free music is only free until a platform, a client or a rights holder asks where it came from; here you have a license record on file to show where the music came from. (Free and Lite have no commercial license, and music you upload yourself is yours to clear.)

**Where:** Exports page → licenses.

**Plan:** Commercial license: Plus and Max.

Publish on podcast platforms, YouTube or a client channel without waiting to find out whether the track was clear. Each export made on a licensed plan comes with its license record — that is the document you point at if anyone asks.

The one thing to decide up front: if your show carries ads or sponsorship, generate the music on Plus or above, and the license travels with the export.

## Can I monetise a podcast that uses this music?

On Plus and Max, yes: those plans include a creator commercial license, and Cast mints a license PDF alongside the export so you have the paperwork for a sponsor, a network or a platform that asks.

That covers the ordinary cases — ads, sponsorships, a paid membership feed, YouTube monetisation. The music is generated for you rather than licensed from a catalogue, so there is no third-party rights holder behind it. That removes the most common cause of a copyright claim, though a platform can still flag content for other reasons.

Free and Lite exports are fine for publishing, but they do not carry the commercial license — so if the episode is monetised, that is the reason to be on Plus.
