Hi Procyon

Thanks for that info. I have been waiting for info from Catooh. About it and glad to say I got the answer from them an hour ago.They say I only need a licence for MM 17. So what I've done is buy MM 16 an I'm ok.

Here is a snippet of the answer from them:-

Thank you for your message.

For the old versions (starting in generation 2005 and up until and including generation 16), you can just use the included soundpool content for commercial and non-commercial purposes without any further restrictions. Starting in version 17 of the MAGIX Soundpool DVD collections and audio content bundled with the Music Maker product line, the use of the provided audio content is limited to private and non-commcerical use. The public presentation of the songs is still possible as long as it's non-commercial (e.g. YouTube without using any monetisation on your channel). However, for commercial productions you will need to obtain a suitable license for the content in question via Catooh (www.catooh.com). Commercial licenses are available for the entire soundpool disc (or Music Maker content collection), individual soundpools (i.e. one single style/volume) and soundpacks (smaller parts of a soundpool) on Catooh, giving you different options to meet your individual requirements.

So, as a more specific example, for your Music Maker 17, you would need to purchase the "Audio Pro Unlimited WAV" license of the following Catooh item to clear the samples for commercial use:

So I'm a very happy guy :-)

You mean you only need the license for MMM-17 and later versions.

{edit]  After this was posted, the prior message was edited to add information that confirmed this point. [/edit]

That's how I read it yes.

Now one thing I want to know is the Best of soundpool collection,also come into the licese free use?

I found on the back it says ideal for any music program.Then license-free, royalty-free use.

So it looks like I've answered my own question!
