Why get a licence?
Legal compliance
A simple, cost-effective way to meet your copyright obligations.
Risk management
Licence holders are indemnified against legal action for copying within the licence terms.
Ethical use
Licensing ensures your organisation respects creative work and supports a fair system.
Free support
Access to copyright education materials, workshops for staff and students, and our helpdesk.
Support creators
Licence fees fund authors and publishers, including many Aotearoa creators.
Flexible extensions
Additional licence provisions available through MyCopyright for exceptional circumstances beyond standard terms. Additional fees apply.
Pricing
Pricing is based on your EFTS (Equivalent Full Time Students), making copyright compliance a predictable fixed cost.
Note: Pricing structure differs between ITPs and Wānanga and varies by course. Contact us for a specific quote.
Licences run January to December. A first instalment of 50% of the expected value for your annual licence fee is due in March, with the balance due by October 30 following collection of your EFTS for the year.
