What Happens After My Commercial Plans has ended? #
If you have canceled your Commercial Plan, you can still use all the designs for commercial use that you had previously registered for commercial use. However, you cannot register any new designs for commercial use.
Registering a Design for Commercial Use #
You must register every single product you want to license for commercial use in your account.
As soon as a product has been registered, you can sell this particular product as often as you like. All your registered products are displayed in a table in your account.
When your subscription for a commercial license has ended, you can still sell all products you have registered during your subscription. But you cannot register any new products for commercial use.
A product counts as a single product regardless of how many items of this specific product you sell.

- Commissions: Every commission counts as a single product
- Books (digital or physical): Each book counts as a single product, regardless of how often it is sold and of how many designs it uses.
