There are three license types - Standard, Multisite, and Extended. We've provided the table below for a quick look at the difference between the them, as well as a few examples of ways each license could be used. If you'd like more of the nitty-gritty details you can find them below and always feel free to reach out with any questions you have at themes@getbootstrap.com.

TLDR: If you're using the Theme, or any part of it, in areas of your site available only to paying users, you need the Extended License.
- A dashboard to visualize your company's internal data
- A marketing site for a paid application (where the Theme and it's components are used only on the marketing pages)
- All the same examples as the Standard License, but you could build all 3 of them with a single license vs. 3 Standard License copies!
- A SaaS analytics application
- A UI library used in a paid app's marketing pages, but also pages of the app only available to paying customers
- A blog with "paid subscribers only" areas for their best content
- The Standard License grants you a non-exclusive right to make use of Theme you have purchased.
- You are licensed to use the Item to create one End Product for yourself or for one client (a “single application”), and the End Product can be distributed for Free.
- You can…
- Create one End Product for a client, transfer that End Product to your client, charge them for your services. The license is then transferred to the client.
- Make unlimited copies of the single End Product as long as the End Product is distributed for free
- Modify the Theme or combine the Theme with other works to make a derivative one. The result is subject to this license. This clause applies to extracting single components from the Theme and using it in derivative works as well.
- You cannot…
- Sell the End Product
- Re-distribute the Theme’s source, modified or not.
- Use the Theme in any application allowing an End User to customize the Theme, like “build it yourself” or “theme generators”.
- Allow the End User of the End Product to access the Theme’s source and use it separately from the End Product.
- If a Theme contains code, images, or content sourced from elsewhere under a different license, that item retains its original license. The license for the code, images, or content will be noted by the Theme author. You are responsible for adhering to the original license or clearing it with the author of the code, image, or content.
- This license can be terminated if you breach it and you lose the right to distribute the End Product until the Theme has been fully removed from the End Product.
- The author of the Theme retains ownership of the Theme, but grants you the license on these terms. This license is between the author of the Theme and you. Be Colossal LLC (Bootstrap Themes) are not a party to this license or the one granting you the license.
The Full Multisite License
- The Multisite License grants you a non-exclusive right to make use of Theme you have purchased.
- You are licensed to use the Item to create unlimited End Products for yourself or for multiple clients, and the End Product can be distributed for Free.

- Create unlimited End Products for a client, transfer that End Product to your clients, charge them for your services. The equivalent of a Standard License is granted to the client. They do not assume the unlimited use nature of the Multisite License.
- Make unlimited copies of the End Products as long as the End Products are distributed for free
