Forever

Artlist:

Content licensed before November 2020 falls under different terms - those older licenses covered all use cases under a single plan. Current plans are more restrictive.

License does not survive cancellation for most plans - you must maintain an active subscription to keep using downloaded content.

Soundstripe:

License survives cancellation only for content downloaded during an active subscription. You cannot download new content after cancellation.

Creator plan is limited to a single channel - using tracks across multiple channels or for client work on this plan violates the terms.
