HOW TO ADD A LICENSE

Single License, Multiple Benefits

Select an extended license once—either Commercial Mini or Commercial Max—and it will apply to all items in your cart. No need for multiple licenses; one is enough to cover all your mockups, ensuring you get the best value.

Here’s How It Works:

  1. Select Your License: Choose your desired license type from any product page.

  2. Add to Cart: Add this license to your cart. It will automatically apply to all the mockups you purchase in the same transaction.

  3. Add Your Products: Continue to add as many products as you need. The single license in your cart grants the appropriate rights to all these items.
