Pricing
Transparent pricing for digital licensing
Pay a capped fee for each corporate license you issue, add annual maintenance only when you need it, and choose the platform plan that fits your integration.
How pricing works
Simple fees per corporate license
The same rates and caps apply on every plan. All prices are in EUR and exclude VAT.
License issuance
1.5% capped at €39 per corporate license
Of the eligible net licensed value. Charged once for each new corporate license issued.
Annual maintenance
3.5% capped at €96 per license per 12 months
Of the annualized net licensed value, for each active corporate license. Optional, and only charged when ordered.
Platform plan
€0–€299 per month, once per Seller integration
Bronze, Silver or Gold. Never charged per license, user or seat.
You keep your pricing, customer contracts, checkout and invoicing. LicenChain receives the structured purchase order details needed to issue each license, not your payment data.
Platform plans
Three plans, one subscription per integration
Bronze suits straightforward licensing. Silver targets growing integrations; Gold is intended for business-critical operations. Paid tiers are optional and never activated automatically.

Questions
Pricing questions
What counts as a corporate license, and how is it different from a seat?
A corporate license is one license issued to one License holder, usually an organization, under one set of terms. It can cover many users or seats. A €10,620 license for a team of 15 users is one corporate license, so the fees are calculated once on €10,620, not 15 times.
Does Bronze mean free licensing?
No. Bronze has no monthly platform fee, but the issuance fee applies to every new corporate license, and the maintenance fee applies when you order maintenance.
Why is annual maintenance optional?
Maintenance is the annual license verification service for an active corporate license. A one-off perpetual license, such as purchased digital content, may not need an ongoing service, so you can leave it out. When ordered, it is charged per active corporate license for each 12-month period.
What data does the Seller submit?
The Seller submits the structured details of the approved purchase order that are needed to issue the license, including the net licensed value. LicenChain does not need the original purchase order document or your payment and settlement data. You keep your own pricing, customer contracts, checkout and invoicing.
Are Silver and Gold applied automatically?
No. Silver and Gold are optional and agreed with you. There is no automatic upgrade based on license volume or revenue, and a platform subscription is charged once per Seller integration, not per license or user.
How do the caps help with high-value licenses?
Issuance is capped at €39 and maintenance at €96 per corporate license, so the fees stop growing once a license is worth about €2,600 for issuance and about €2,743 for maintenance. Below those values, issuance plus first-year maintenance on a 12-month license is approximately 5% of its value, subject to rounding, before any platform subscription. Above them, the effective rate keeps falling, for example to about 1.27% on a €10,620 license.
Is the estimate a quote?
No. The estimator shows an illustrative first-year estimate for the standard commercial model. It does not create an order or a binding quote. Final charges depend on the agreed contract, license scope and service period.
