How It Works

JLicense Allows You to Legally...

• Stream and podcast (store recorded streams) covered songs in any worship service and lifecycle, concert, or other event for your community.
• Use copyrighted music and lyrics in social media posts, including videos or recorded (and posted) worship services.
• Project on-screen and reproduce (in handouts, worship aids, and bulletins) copyrighted lyrics and excerpted melody lines for use by the congregation.
• Make rehearsal and resource recordings for educational and practice purposes, and distribute within your community the recordings on your web site, Dropbox (or similar services), CDs, or email.
• Make custom musical arrangements, adaptations, and editions for your use. This might include changing the key of a song, adjusting voicing and forces, translating text to a different language, and creating your own arrangement of a song, all for use within your community.

The Fine Print

JLicense does not include the right to reprint in permanent congregational songbooks or to make photocopies of sheet music. You are required by law to purchase the appropriate amount of music for your ensemble.

Transcontinental Music and many popular Jewish composers and songwriters are participating members.

How Does JLicense Work?

Simply log into your JLicense.com account and report which songs you used at a service or event. The system will remember your entries from the previous login, and most of the repertoire you use will already be in the JLicense database. This allows you to easily click and report, quickly becoming part of your work routine. If a song is not in the database, our team will review the title and do their best to add it.

AND HERE’S THE BEST PART: the composers, songwriters, authors, and publishers responsible for your program and worship content will be paid fairly for your use of their work.

How Long Does My License Last?

JLicense is available as an annual license (based on congregational or organizational membership size), a single-use/24-hour license (based on event attendance), or a special event/7-day license (based on event attendance).
