Mechanical Licenses
When a release is flagged as a cover, the platform collects writer and publisher information and drives the licensing request from there.
Licenses, rates and territories are stored against the release so delivery and accounting both see the same source of truth.
Cover detection
Releases flagged as covers are held until licensing is resolved.
Writer and publisher capture
Structured data collection instead of free-text notes.
License storage
Documents, rates and territories attached to the release forever.
Accounting aware
Mechanical costs flow into royalty runs automatically.
How it works
Declare
Flag a release as a cover and capture the original work details.
Match
Publishers and writers are identified and the licence request is raised.
Clear
Licence status and fees are tracked against the release before delivery.
What's included
Every mechanical licenses capability is part of the platform — no add-on modules, no separate contracts, and the same behaviour through the dashboard and the REST API.

Mechanical Licenses questions
Coverage depends on the licensing partner selected for the release; status is shown per territory.
You choose — releases can be held until a licence clears, or delivered with the licence pending.
