Simplified Instant Licensing

We do not sell stand-alone performance licences. Instead, we ask customers to place a new order for the ‘Digital Publication’ (or ‘Complete Pack’ where available) of the publication you wish to perform. When you order one of our publications, you get three licenses in one:

A full one-year ‘Performance Licence’.
A basic one-year ‘Recording Licence’.
A basic one-year ‘User Licence’.

PLUS All These Benefits:

Instant online access to your publication, with regularly updated resources.
Your publication is accessible on any device, and available immediately after completing checkout.
The included ‘Performance Licence’ element allows you to stage as many performances as you want within a 1 year period
Perform at any time of your choosing
Doesn’t matter if you’re charging your audience for admission or not.
No need to advise us of your performance circumstances or schedule.
The included basic ‘User licence’ element allows you to share your digital publication on up to four devices. (Further devices can be added with an extended ‘Site Licence‘).
The included basic ‘Recording Licence’ element allows you to record and distribute / stream your performance for free for up to 50 users. (More users/units can be added with an extended ‘Recording Licence‘)

Please note: ‘Digital Publications’ (and ‘Complete Packs’ where available) are only available on a one-year subscription basis. There is no auto-renewal. Customers have the opportunity to renew manually after the initial one-year period has ended.

Renewing An Old Performance Licence

If you are an existing customer from previous years, looking to renew an outdated Performance Licence, then please order the ‘Digital Publication’ (or ‘Complete Pack’ where available) of the title concerned.

Just about all of our publications have recently been updated in one way or another. So, making a new order will also give you access to new or improved resources. A new purchase will also ensure coverage of your annual user licence and basic recording licence requirements.

For clarification, we do not provide the option for customers to renew a performance licence on its own. The only option available is to order a new one-year subscription, via the ‘Digital Publication’ (or ‘Complete Pack’ where available) of the publication you’re interested in. Please note that there is no auto-renewal for any of our subscriptions. Customers have the opportunity to renew manually after the subscription period has ended.

Lifetime Licences

For around ten years we ran a temporary promotion allowing some customers to purchase a ‘Lifetime Performance Licence’. Although that promotion ended in December 2018, we will honour the terms of any licence that was issued during that period, allowing you to perform that one particular musical at any time in the future without limit.

Please note that ‘Lifetime Performance Licences’ only ever covered performances. At no point did these licences ever allow any user to have ongoing unlimited access to new/replacement scripts, CDs, downloads or other associated resources. In a nutshell, as long as you still have the original material that you purchased along with your Lifetime Licence, then you are still free to use those materials under the terms of your Lifetime Licence and perform as many times as you want. However, if you no longer possess the resources that you originally purchased, or if you would like to have access to any new resources that are now available (e.g., lyric videos, new scripts), then you will have to make a brand-new purchase of the ‘Digital Publication’ (or ‘Complete Pack’ where available).

Legal Requirement

If you intend to use any part of one of our publications, to stage any type of performance, however small, regardless of whether an admission fee is charged or not, regardless of the age/ability of the children, regardless of whether the audience is in the room with you or watching remotely via computers, and even if the performance is ‘only for parents’, than you MUST be in possession of an up-to-date performance licence issued by Learn2soar. This is a legal requirement worldwide* and applies to all types of schools, churches, nurseries, preschools, children’s groups, etc. *(In the UK via the ‘Copyright, Designs & Patents Act 1988’, and Worldwide via the ‘Berne Convention’ and the ‘World Intellectual Property Organisation’). And as stated above, our performance licences are ONLY available as part of an up-to-date subscription to the ‘Digital Publication’ (or ‘Complete Pack’ where available) of the title you’re interested in. Licences issued by any other organisation do not apply in any way, shape or form.

Songs Only Performance

We know that some customers like to purchase our audio CDs (or rehearsal pack CDs) to use the songs within a performance that they have created themselves. However, even here, you are still performing our material and as such, an annual performance licence is still required. As we do not sell stand alone performance licences, you will have to purchase a one-year subscription to the relevant ‘Digital Publication’ (or ‘Complete Pack’ where available).
