Licensing FAQ
We try to provide here answers to any common licensing questions. If you have a question you need an answer to concerning licensing of our products, and it is not answered here, try also contacting us.
Can I use software I download from the Intermorphic website on 2 computers?
Broadly speaking, we have tried to draft our Software EULA to be flexible for you. We don't want our licence to get in the way of you working and coming up with great ideas.
So, if you have 2 computers and relevant versions of the Software are available to download direct from the intermorphic.com website you can install and use that software on both of them (but not use the software simultaneously on both, though!).
With the relevant licence and where relevant versions of the Software are available to download direct from the intermorphic.com website you can install and use both Mac and Windows versions of the software, too, including if your computers are dual boot Win/Mac systems.
Please note that Mixtikl and Liptikl for Mac are now only available from the Mac App Store, which has different licencing terms.
Can I use the recordings I make with Mixtikl on CDs, and do I own the rights to the recordings (assuming I have bought the necessary Tiklpaks)?
Tip: To see the EULA for the Tiklpak content you are interested in, from the Mixer UI, select the Content Cell containing the content you are interested in and then press the Info Button to take you to the Tiklpak info webpage, which also contains a link to the relevant Tiklpak. NB: In the Content Cell Menu (Figure 2), the Tiklpak name for the content is shown below the content name.

With respect to recordings made of mixes using content only from the generative Intermorphic GenMix1 - GenMix7, BellsMetalsArps and Dronemaker 1 Tiklpaks (see the related Tiklpak EULA) and/or the three Noatikl Template Tiklpaks (GenDrums 1 & 2 (MIDI / OWt), GenElements 1 (MIDI/ Synth) ) (see the related Tiklpak EULA), then yes you do own the recordings as we own all the generative content in the foregoing paks. We also own the content in LoopBeats1 and ZZZ_Rests (see the related Tiklpak EULA), so you are OK there, too. If you mix the foregoing with other content then you will only own the recordings if you definitely have the necessary rights and comply with any licencing terms for that additional content.

If you are referring to recordings made of mixes using or featuring audio content from Tiklpaks in Tiklpak Collections 1-3 and/or the LoopBeats 2 Tiklpak (see the relevant Tiklpak Collections 1-3 EULA or LoopBeats 2 Tiklpak EULA) which includes content we licence from a 3rd party, then you will need to pay particular attention to the clause in relevant licence for those Tiklpaks:
"You may mix together content from the Tiklpak, and combine content from the Tiklpak with other content over which you have the requisite rights, in order to create your own mixtikl files, mixtikls (mixtikl files exported as a URL) and mix recordings ("New Content"). You are free to distribute the New Content provided (i) the New Content constitutes an original work (ii) you have the necessary distribution rights in any third party content and (iii) individual sound samples are not used in isolation. However, you may not use content from the Tiklpak to create music libraries for distribution to third parties."
With respect to the Tiklpaks above, if you are wanting to create music libraries of any kind, then you would not be licenced to do that. Similarly, if any of the sound samples are used in isolation (i.e. not mixed against another sample playing at the same time), then you would not be licenced to do that.
We cannot give any legal interpretations of the licence (*we are not lawyers*), but we hope the pointer helps. At the end of the day, you would need to comply with all the terms of the licenses and have a valid licenced version. If you do feel you need an interpretation you would need to ask a lawyer.
Can I use Mixtikl for live performance?
Yes, you can use Mixtikl in live performance, provided you are doing the performance (i.e. you are present and interacting with the software) and you have a valid licenced version. We have some specific wording to cater for that, generally under Clause 3.5 (the same wording in all Mixtikl licences), e.g from the Mixtikl for Windows EULA.
"You may NOT use the Software for any public performance, live broadcast or time delayed live broadcast unless you have purchased a valid licence to use the Software and, where you are not present and interacting with the Software and the Software is being using for commercial purposes, you have also purchased the additional valid relevant performance licences."
