If you buy PLR regularly, you’ll eventually face a simple question you can’t answer: “Am I allowed to do this with that pack?” One seller lets you give the content away, another doesn’t. One allows you to pass on resell rights, another forbids it. After a few dozen purchases, it’s easy to mix them up.
A license log solves that. It’s a single spreadsheet or document where you record what each purchase allows before you use it.
What to record for each purchase
- Product name and seller. Use the name on your receipt so you can match it later.
- Purchase date and where you bought it. Note the platform or website and the order number.
- License type. PLR, master resell rights, resell rights, personal use, or something custom. Our guide to PLR, MRR and RR licenses explains the usual differences, but always go by the actual terms.
- Key yes/no rights. Can you edit it? Put your name on it? Sell it? Give it away? Use it as a lead magnet? Add it to a bundle or membership? Pass on any rights to your buyers?
- Restrictions. Minimum prices, banned platforms, rules about sales pages or images, and anything that says “not allowed.”
- Where the license file lives. A link or folder path to the saved license and receipt.
- Where you’ve used it. Which products, posts or bundles now contain this content.
Save the license, not just the content
Many PLR packs include the license as a separate text or PDF file, and some sellers only show it on the sales page. Save a copy either way — a PDF or screenshot of the page with the date is better than relying on a link that may change. Keep it next to your receipt in the same folder as the original files.
Check the log before every new use
Make it a habit: before you bundle, give away or repackage anything, look it up first. This matters most when you combine several packs, since each one keeps its own terms. Our post on bundling PLR without breaking the license covers that situation in more detail.
Keep it simple
You don’t need special software. A spreadsheet with one row per purchase and a column for each right is enough. Use “Yes,” “No,” and “Check” so gaps are obvious, and add a notes column for anything unusual.
This is general information, not legal advice. When the wording of a license is unclear, ask the seller in writing and save the reply with your other records.
