What is this?

Every piece of sheet music a choir buys in the Theatilo music shop gets a personal PDF for each member. On the right margin are the choir's name and a unique license ID. With Verify license anyone can publicly check whether this license is valid. Handy for:

  • Publishers who want to check whether a choir has a valid license
  • Concert organizers who want to see proof
  • Associations checking documents

Verification is possible without login.

Note: only licenses from the Theatilo music shop can be verified. License files a choir attaches to its own sheet music cannot be checked here.

How to verify a license

  1. Open the Theatilo website and click Verify license at the bottom.
  2. Enter the choir/ensemble name as it appears on the sheet music.
  3. Enter the license ID.
  4. Click Verify.
  5. You immediately see the result with the key data.

What the verification shows

  • Status:
    • Valid license — the license is active
    • Invalid license — the license was revoked or is no longer valid
  • Piece — the title of the piece
  • Ensemble and license ID
  • Assigned on and, if applicable, revoked on
  • How many licenses the choir holds in total — or unlimited licenses for a flat license

Not shown: member names, prices or contracts.

Permission

Verification needs no permission and no login.

When verification is worth it

  • Before a concert: are the purchased pieces really licensed?
  • For publisher inquiries: send along the choir name and license ID for verification.

Tips

  • Enter the choir name exactly as it appears on the sheet music.
  • Copy the license ID instead of typing it — it is long and typos happen quickly.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Theatilo account to verify a license?▾
No. The check is public. You only need the license ID and the choir's name, both printed on the right margin of the licensed sheet music.
What data does the check show?▾
Whether the license is valid or has been revoked, plus the piece, choir, license ID, the date it was assigned, if applicable the date of revocation, and how many licenses the choir holds in total for this piece. Member names, prices or contracts are not shown.
What if the license is not found?▾
Then there is a typo in the license ID, or the choir name does not match the license. The choir name is not case-sensitive. If in doubt, ask the choir.
