Use Esano files in client work

Updated

Client work needs a Commercial or Extended license. The Personal license is for your own non-commercial projects.

Which license covers client work

  • Commercial: "Use the files in client work and in products you sell, up to 5,000 units across all products."
  • Extended: everything in Commercial with no unit cap, including print-on-demand stores.
  • Personal: doesn't cover client work.

If a client project includes products you or the client will sell, the same limits apply. Commercial covers up to 5,000 units across all products. See Sell products made with Esano files.

What you can give a client

You can give a client the finished work you made with the files. That might be a printed invitation, a branded document or an edited layout.

What you can't give a client

You can't pass on the original files as they are. No license allows reselling, sharing or redistributing the original files as they are.

If your client wants the original file itself, send them the listing link so they can buy it and choose the license that fits what they plan to do.

Steps to buy a license for client work

  1. Open the listing page.
  2. Under Choose a license, select Commercial or Extended.
  3. Select Add to cart or Buy it now.
  4. After you pay, find the license on your order in Purchases and reviews.

If the listing offers only Personal, you can't use that file for a client. Message the shop and ask whether a Commercial or Extended license is available.

Do I have to credit the shop?

Under Commercial, credit is appreciated but not required. Extended includes everything in Commercial.

Custom work for a client

If you want something made just for a client, you can ask a shop for a custom order. The shop's quote shows the license. See Licenses for custom orders.
