Free license

Students and anyone who cannot afford a license can ask for one free. Send a short email with the reason and a handwritten note.

If a license is out of reach, you can ask for one free. This is for students, and for anyone who needs Gleam Audio for work but cannot pay right now.

Each request is read by a person and decided case by case. It is not a form that approves itself, so a clear, honest request helps most.

Email support@gleamaudio.com with the subject Free license request. Include these:

  • Who you are. Your name, and your school or what you do.
  • What you will use it for. The podcast, course, client work or project you have in mind.
  • Why you are asking. A few lines on why paying is hard for you right now. You do not need to share private details.
  • A handwritten note. Write your request by hand on paper, then attach a photo of it. A note in your own words, not written with AI, shows the request comes from you.
  1. Your email is read, and you may get a question or two back.
  2. If the request is approved, you get a license key by email.
  3. Add the key in the app, the same way as a bought one. Adding your key
