PLUS Packs™ make RM licensing easier.
PLUS Packs™ are a new universal standard for a streamlined and simplified form of Rights Managed licensing. Developed and approved by the PLUS Coalition which has the broad support of the image licensing community, PLUS Packs™ simplify RM into a group of flexible, easy to understand packages of common types of use. A short set of parameters – duration and scale of use – further define a PLUS Pack™ license.
Stock image users get an easy-to-use, time-saving method for pricing and licensing PLUS Packs™ which helps to budget and plan projects. This should offer more confidence when working with licensors through a universal standard.
Stock image providers of all sizes – from major distribution channels to specialist and solo archives – can attract and better serve the needs of more customers, as well as benefit from cost savings due to an automated licensing process.
Stock artists gain greater exposure and opportunities for their Rights Managed imagery among customers who may have otherwise opted for Royalty Free licensing models due to the benefits of simplicity and automation.
SAA's Calculator brings PLUS Packs™ to life.
To help spur adoption, SAA developed the SAA PLUS Packs™Calculator. Based on the licensor's own pricing data, this free, open-source software tool automates the first step of the licensing process - selection and pricing of a Pack. On one screen, and with just a few clicks, RM licensing will be easier than ever.
