How to Complete the Music Licensing Form for Reopened Releases

Last updated on May 05, 2026

If your release has been reopened due to a music license requirement, it means our review team has identified content that requires legal documentation. This usually occurs when using a licensed beat or when your track is a cover song.

Submitting this information is essential to:

  • Ensure your release is approved for distribution.

  • Prevent copyright strikes on digital platforms.

  • Protect your account from future DMCA takedown issues.


Steps to Complete the Licensing Form

Once you access the form provided in your reopened release, please provide the following details:

  1. Artist Name: Enter your official stage name exactly as it appears on the release.

  2. Select the Track: Choose the specific song that has the copyright flag.

  3. Song Title:

    • For Albums/EPs: Select the specific track title causing the reopening.

    • For Singles: The release title and song title will be the same.

    • Upload a Valid License: Attach your proof of use in the designated field.

    • For Beats: Ensure you have a valid license from platforms like BeatStars.

    • For Covers: You must provide a mechanical license from services like EasySong.com


What Happens Next?

After submitting your information, follow these steps to finalize your distribution:

  • Check the Status: Navigate to Account > Form Submissions to monitor the progress of your request.

  • Resubmit for Review: Once your form status shows as "Accepted," you must manually resubmit your release for review so our team can finalize the approval.

Pro Tip: Make sure your license document is clear, legible, and includes the correct terms of use to avoid further delays.
