Licence’s period of validity starting from 1 January 2025
The licence in accordance with these licence terms will enter into force once the licensee has paid the remuneration to Kopiosto in accordance with the invoice. The licence will remain valid for the period defined in the order or until it is terminated. However, the licence will always remain valid at least until the end of the calendar year (until 31 December). The licence applies to all copies the company has created in accordance with the licence terms. You can acquire a licence as a continuous licence that is valid until further notice or as a fixed-term licence.
Continuous licence
The most effortless way of acquiring a licence is to make a continuous subscription that will remain valid until further notice. This means that your licence will automatically continue one calendar year at a time. When the licence term changes, you can update the subscription’s number of employees or officers through our licence service between 1 November and 31 January, if necessary. If the number of people is not updated, the licence will continue as unchanged. A continuous licence can be terminated in writing at least one month before the start of the next calendar year, i.e. at the latest on 30 November.
Fixed-term annual licence
The annual licence will remain valid for one calendar year. When the licence ends, you can order a new licence through our licence service by giving the information requested. We will send a reminder to our customers that their fixed-term licence is ending. If you do not acquire a continuous licence or a new fixed-term licence, please remember to inform your staff that they can no longer copy any copyrighted materials for professional use. Remember to also make sure that the previously copied materials have been removed from the personnel’s use in accordance with the licence terms.
Towards the end of the year, we will send a message to all our customers, reminding them of the end date of their licence, the need to update the information about their number of personnel, the option to terminate and the potential changes to licence prices.
A continuous licence can be terminated in writing at least one month before the start of the next calendar year, i.e. at the latest on 30 November.
A fixed-term licence comes to an end at the end of the calendar year unless you acquire a continuous licence or renew your fixed-term licence.
When the licence term comes to an end, remember to inform the personnel of your company or organisation that they can no longer copy the copyrighted materials for professional use. Remember to also make sure that the previously copied materials have been removed from your personnel’s use.
A licence that is valid until further notice must be updated between 1 November and 31 January, if
- the company’s size category changes (the categories are 1–10, 11–30, 31–50 or more than 50 employees/officers)
- the licence has been acquired for a specific number of people exceeding 50 people, and the number of people in the company changes by more than 20 people from the previously reported number (number of employees or officers, depending on the industry).
If the company’s size category does not change or changes by less than 20 people, the licence will automatically continue as it is, covering the entire personnel.
The remunerations are subject to a discount based on the number of personnel in accordance with the invoicing principle, either based on the total number of employees or the number of officers. The number of officers is used as the invoicing principle in the following industries: commerce and transport, telecommunications and ICT, industry and construction, and healthcare and social services. The number of employees is used as the invoicing principle in other sectors. You can ensure your industrial classification here, if necessary.
The discount is determined as follows:
| Number of employees/officers | Discount % |
| 1 500 – 2 000 | 5 |
| 2 001 – 2 500 | 6 |
| 2 501 – 4 000 | 7 |
| 4 001 – 6 000 | 8 |
| 6 001 – 9 000 | 9 |
| over 9 000 | 10 |
The number of people includes the number of personnel in all companies of the group if a centralised licence is acquired for all companies of the group at the same time. If the remuneration is based on the number of officers, the number of personnel does not include the number of employees in the entire company but the number of officers.
