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:
Select Your License: Choose your desired license type from any product page.
Add to Cart: Add this license to your cart. It will automatically apply to all the mockups you purchase in the same transaction.
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.
