Hi

Did you go to planetproducer.com to purchase the commercial licence version as detailed in the image you posted?

Once purchased you do not have to uninstall/re-install - there is no difference in the actual Soundpools, you just have a licence to use them commercially.

Also note:

• You do not have Copyright of the Soundpool loops irrespective of the version you have
   
• Posting/selling your creations on Youtube/Spotify etc - may lead to copyright claims particularly from some third part entities which act on the behalf of some 'creators'.

In both cases - copyright of the Soundpools and loops belongs to Magix, the commercial licence does not give you exclusive rights to the Soundpools and loops.

Hello welcome

This is an extract from Magix below;

Why do I have to pay to use songs I’ve created myself for commercial purposes? It might seem difficult to understand why you need to pay extra to publish loop-based songs that you’ve put a lot of time, effort and passion into creating. Especially when the track’s suitable for radio and you’d like to make it accessible to a wider audience and earn some money at the same time. If you want to sell your songs on CD or use your compositions as music for a film that’s going to be distributed on DVD, you will need to get what’s known as an Audio Pro license from MAGIX. The reason for this is the sounds and loops included in Music Maker and Music Maker Jam. These are created by professional musicians and developed and recorded exclusively in the MAGIX studios. Copyright, which protects intellectual property, applies to these. Although the loops and sounds are the property of MAGIX, they may be used for commercial purposes upon the payment of license fees.Because we want to enable people to have as much enjoyment when making music as possible, when you buy software (or Styles for the Music Maker Jam app), you acquire user rights for non-commercial use only. Otherwise, we would have to charge a much higher price for these products and wouldn’t be able to offer a free Music Maker version. To put it simply: If you are using sounds or loops from Music Maker or Music Maker Jam for commercial purposes, you need permission from MAGIX to do so.To make this process as easy as possible, you can easily purchase Audio Pro licenses for commercial use online. Note: Commercial use also refers to situations where you monetize videos with your songs on Youtube (for example), where money is generated through adverts. Acquiring an Audio Pro license is also necessary for this. Where can I get a license for the sounds I’ve used? The Audio Pro licenses for sounds used can be purchased on www.producerplanet.com. There are a choice of three types of license: “Standard”, “Advanced” and “Unlimited”.

The license terms and conditions are bound in terms of the number of downloads, webpage views, number of transmissions on TV and radio, and reproductions of the song. You can select the type of license that’s suitable for your needs depending on the amount of people to whom you make your songs accessible.

Ok, So Im somewhat confused as to what I have understood from the information posted by producer base and what Im reading in this post. I have already purchased 4 commercial licensed loops and about 25 non- commercial. I want to make music for my youtube videos and for an album, I want to ONLY use the 4 I purchased with commercial licensing. Please help me understand a little more...
