Free end-product access
Regular License
For one finished product that people can access without paying, including a project delivered to one client.
Understand how Regular and Extended Licenses differ, when each one is required, and what is included before you purchase.
Licensing made simple
Both are CodeCanyon marketplace licenses for the same product package and one finished end product. Both include source code and released marketplace updates. Supported items also include six months of author support.
The deciding question is access: choose Regular when end users access the product for free. Choose Extended when they must pay to access or use it, or when the finished end product is sold.
