MCKL License Overview
We know font licensing can be confusing, and we’re here to help. Here are the basic things to keep in mind with a MCKL font license:
When you license fonts from our website, you have the option of three different usages: Desktop, Webfont, and App Licensing.
- For desktop licenses, we calculate usage based on the number of users. Individual users may have the fonts installed on multiple computers.
- For webfont licenses, we calculate usage based on the number of monthly visitors to a website. We do not count page views or any other metric for webfonts.
- For app licenses, we calculate usage based on the number of monthly users of the app.
If you have additional questions, you can visit our FAQ section or email us at info@mckltype.com.
