Commercial Use of the Logic Pro 90-Day Trial

I've made a few songs in my 90-day Free Trial of Logic Pro. I had fun with it, and have some of them on Spotify, for the purpose of that I've never had a song on Spotify and it was pretty cool seeing it up there. However, just today, I've done a bit of research, and apparently the clarity of commercial use in the Logic Pro trial becomes murky, with no clarity.


May I ask, am I allowed to commercially distribute songs made on the Logic Pro free trial, on Spotify and Apple Music? I've made as much as $1.50.

Should I immediately take the songs off to get on the right legal side?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.5

From one user to another, with no legal expertise, I wouldn't worry about posting your music to Spotify or Apple Music. Seems small potatoes to me and I'm sure it's a non-issue. I seriously doubt Apple is going to waste postage to send a cease and desist to you or file suit for some share of $1.50. 😉


They provided you a 90-day trial and you leveraged that to produce something worth sharing.

Good for you. I'd do the same.

Happy producing!

Oh and a follow-up; the closest thing I found to a restriction on commercial use was this:




"Here's an excerpt from the Logic Pro software agreement:

...you have the right to use the Apple Software as permitted by the Services and Content Usage Rules set forth in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions (https:// www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/) (“Usage Rules”), and are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license:

(i) to download, install, use and run for personal, non-commercial use, one (1) copy of the Apple Software directly on each Apple-branded computer running macOS (“Mac Computer”) that you own or control; and

(ii) if you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, to download, install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software for use either: (a) by a single individual on each of the Mac Computer(s) that you own or control, or (b) by multiple individuals on a single shared Mac Computer that you own or control. For example, a single employee may use the Apple Software on both the employee’s desktop Mac Computer and laptop Mac Computer, or multiple students may serially use the Apple Software on a single Mac Computer located at a resource center or library.

For complete details, read the Logic Pro software license agreement."


But this is almost interpreted about the Logic software itself. Not commercially distribute the output, but rather, don't commercially distribute the software (things like transfer the Trial, resell the trial, have people rent using the trial, have a studio that allows people to use the trial). By that interpretation, it wouldn't say anything about the output the music software itself receives? So, this doesn't talk about the output you get out of using the software, and if there's restrictions on it.



There is also the page dedicated about the Logic Pro for Mac Trial. I didn't find anything, and just found this:


"Does the Logic Pro trial have any limitations?

The only limitation is the 90-day time period."


So, the only difference between the Logic Pro trial and the Logic Pro software is that the trial is limited to 90 days?

So assuming the rules of how you can distribute the output remain the same if nothing is limited in the trial but the 90 day session?



If, indeed, one is not allowed to commercially distribute the output you make, could you please clarify, with real quotations, and evidence from the website? I simply want the hard evidence/truth, so I'm sure of what to do next. Thank you! If you can't provide an answer, I thank you anyway for the advice!
