Self-complete template. You get an editable Word template, plain-English guidance notes and a completion checklist, emailed to you after payment is confirmed. Written for use in Ireland.
Not included: legal advice, tailoring, review, witnessing or filing. OnlineLegalServices.ie is operated by Plus Promotions Limited, which is not a solicitor’s practice. If you want a solicitor to review your completed document, find one through the Law Society of Ireland’s directory.
A licence agreement in Ireland allows you to grant another party permission to use your intellectual property, such as software, content, a brand or technology, while you retain ownership. Without a proper licence, you can lose control of how your IP is used.
This is a self-complete template: you complete it yourself using the guidance notes. The price is set, with no billable hours and no surprise invoices, and the service is fully online, so there is no need to travel to an office.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a licence agreement cost in Ireland?
The price of this self-complete template is shown at the top of this page. You pay once and there are no further charges from us. The price covers the template and guidance notes only — it does not include legal advice or review by a solicitor.
What is the difference between exclusive, sole and non-exclusive licences?
Exclusive excludes everyone including the owner; sole excludes others but not the owner; non-exclusive allows multiple licensees.
Does a licence transfer ownership?
No. A licence grants permission to use IP while the owner keeps ownership.
