one license

How It Works

Through ONE LICENSE, License Holders have access to thousands of congregational hymns, songs, and service music from today’s top liturgical music publishers to use in worship aids, service bulletins, and projections to inspire congregational singing. Our list of Member Publishers is regularly growing, and as new ones join, you will immediately have access to their catalogs.

A ONE LICENSE subscription is comprehensive, convenient, and cost-effective. Our rates are equitably and fairly based upon the average weekly attendance of your congregation. For more information on pricing, please visit our Options & Prices page.

Reprint License (Annual, Event, or Single-Use)

  • ONE LICENSE is the most comprehensive way to acquire reprint permissions from multiple publishers at the same time.
  • Online reporting is the quickest way to inform our Member Publishers of the titles you have reprinted.
  • Annual Licenses cover consistent usage over the course of one year; Event Licenses cover retreats, conventions, conferences, etc., that are up to seven days in duration; and Single-Use Licenses are designed for one-time events, including weddings and funerals. If your organization has an up-to-date Annual License, then congregational gatherings hosted or sponsored by your organization of all varieties are covered, such as youth group meetings, small group meetings, etc.
  • An Annual License combines the catalogs of your favorite Member Publishers in one place and is far less expensive than obtaining permission from each publisher individually. ONE LICENSE is an Internet-based service with no paper reports to fill out or mail. Reporting takes mere minutes per week or month. We recommend logging in monthly to stay on top of your reporting or to indicate that you have “nothing to report” for a given season.
  • Reprint Licenses are intended for congregational use only. ONE LICENSE does not cover music for choirs, ensembles, cantors, accompanists, or instrumentalists.
