How to get the Lifetime license
- Step 1
Create an account or sign in
The license belongs to your audiofire account. If you don’t have one yet, you create it while buying.
- Step 2
Pay once
One price, VAT included, no subscription. You get an invoice showing the VAT.
- Step 3
Download songs and create the license PDF
The license applies at once. You download every song as an MP3 and create a license PDF with a license number for each song you use. You pass the license PDF on to your client when needed.
Your clients can check the license
Every license PDF has a license number. With it, your client, an agency or a platform can look up in the license validator whether the license is genuine and which song it covers. If anyone asks about an ad video, you have the proof in a minute.
More than 15 employees?
The Lifetime license covers companies, clubs and institutions with up to 15 employees, and for client work your client as well. For larger companies, for ads on TV, radio and in cinemas, and for podcasts and audiobooks, audiohub, our offer for businesses, has licenses with a broader scope.
Royalty-free music for your business content
Social media ads
For ads on Instagram, Facebook or TikTok the first second counts. Take a song that starts right away.
Music for advertisingProduct videos and online shop
In a product video people should see the product, not hear the music. Calm songs leave room for details and a voice-over.
Background musicCompany introduction and website
A video on your website’s home page often starts without sound. If visitors turn the sound on, the music should suit the brand: elegant for consulting, energetic for sport, friendly for a trade.
Elegant musicVideos for clients
As a freelancer or small agency, one license covers your projects for clients with up to 15 employees. You give your client the song’s license PDF.

Questions about commercial use
Is there royalty-free music I may use commercially for free?
With us, the music is free for your own videos as a private person or creator. For ads, for your company and for videos you produce for clients, you need the Lifetime license for a one-time €119. The same applies if a video’s YouTube ad revenue should go to you.
What counts as commercial use?
A video is commercial if it advertises a company, you produce it for a client or someone earns money with it. Typical cases are ad clips, product videos, company videos, paid brand collaborations, videos commissioned by clients and videos whose YouTube ad revenue should go to you.
May I make videos for several clients with the Lifetime license?
Yes. You buy the license once and may use the music in every video you produce for clients with up to 15 employees. The license stays with you. You give your client the song’s license PDF so they can prove the use.
May I use the music in paid ads on Instagram, Facebook or YouTube?
Yes, with the Lifetime license. It covers every online platform, paid advertising there included. Ads on TV, radio or in cinemas are not included.
Does the Lifetime license also cover songs added later?
Yes. The license covers all songs on audiofire. If new songs are added, they are included automatically. You pay nothing extra for them. One video or a hundred: the price stays the same.
My company has more than 15 employees. What now?
Then the Lifetime license is not the right one. Licenses for larger companies are available at audiohub, our offer for businesses.
