How to use your Lickd License Correctly

 

1. Once you’ve purchased your license simply click ‘Download’ to get access to the MP3 audio of the track you’ve purchased:

2. After you’ve finished editing your video and are ready to upload it to YouTube (or other social platforms), make sure to add the Music Attribution to the description of your video. The attribution will be available to copy and paste when you download your track but you can also always find it later in your account by clicking "Licenses" on your account

3. Once you’ve got the Music Attribution, copy and paste it into the description of your video on YouTube (or other social media platform where possible):

 

5. Once your video has been uploaded as unlisted don't be afraid if you see a ‘copyright claim’ on the status of your video under restrictions - this is normal! 

 

You will also receive an email from us letting you know the claim has been resolved!

What to do if my claim is not cleared within 30 minutes?

1. Visit your Account and go to “Videos & Claims” 
2. Click ‘Claim Statuses’ on the video where you’re waiting for a claim to be cleared:

3. Click ‘Submit support request’

4. Select the license your claim is in reference to and click 'submit'

(If you know you want to upload a video over the weekend, we recommend where possible sending Lickd the video before Friday so we can make sure any claims on the video are cleared before your uploading scheduled time!) 

If the license you selected is claims managed:

Our team will need to manually clear the claim, please follow steps 1-4 above in submitting a support request to get the claim manually cleared. Our team will then drop you an email to confirm when the claim has been cleared! You’ll also see the status of your claim on YouTube under ‘Restrictions’ change from ‘Copyright claim’ to ‘None’ 

And you’re done! Congratulations, your video has popular music in it, but you’ve avoided copyright claims and get to keep 100% of your ad revenue.
