Your existing videos and licenses stay protected - forever. Cancelling your Premium plan does not affect any video that already has a Thematic license link in its description. Once a license is activated, it is permanent.
You can also keep using any songs you downloaded while on your Premium plan. The license does not expire when your plan does.
Your music licenses will remain valid as long as:
-
The license links specific to your channel stay in your video descriptions
-
Your videos are not deleted
Frequently asked questions
Will my past videos get copyright claims if I cancel?
No. Any video with a Thematic license link in the description stays protected permanently after cancellation.
Can I keep using songs I downloaded while on Premium?
Yes. Songs you downloaded during your Premium plan remain licensed to your channel. You can continue using them in existing and new videos with the same license link.
What happens to my account when I cancel?
You move to the free plan. You retain access to your account, your downloaded songs, and the free music catalog. Points-based downloads continue to apply on the free plan.
Do I need to do anything to keep my videos protected?
Just make sure the license links stay in your video descriptions and that the videos remain published.
