This section demonstrates how to mint a License Token for an IPA. You can only mint a License Token for an IPA if it has License Terms attached to it. A License Token is minted as an ERC721 token and contains the necessary licensing details.

Paid Licenses

Note that some IP Assets may have license terms attached that require the user minting the license to pay a mintingFee. You can see an example of that in the TypeScript Tutorial.

Prerequisites

• Setup the client object.
• An IPA that has License Terms added. Learn how to add License Terms to an IPA here.

Mint License

To mint a License Token, we will need the:

• licenseTermsId - the id of the License Terms (ex. "1" for Non-Commercial Social Remixing)
• licensorIpId - the ipId of the IPA we are minting a License Token from
• receiver - wallet receiving the License Token, usually the wallet address that is executing the transaction
• amount - # of License Tokens to be minted (usually 1, unless the minter decides to mint a batch and distribute it in another way later on)

const response = await client.license.mintLicenseTokens({
   licenseTermsId: "1", 
   licensorIpId: "0xC92EC2f4c86458AFee7DD9EB5d8c57920BfCD0Ba",
   receiver: "0x14dC79964da2C08b23698B3D3cc7Ca32193d9955", 
   amount: 1, 
   txOptions: { waitForTransaction: true }
});

console.log(`License Token minted at transaction hash ${response.txHash}, License IDs: ${response.licenseTokenIds}`)

export type MintLicenseTokensRequest = {
  licenseTermsId: string;
  licensorIpId: Address;
  amount: number;
  receiver: Address;
  txOptions?: TxOptions;
};

export type MintLicenseTokensResponse = {
  txHash?: string;
  licenseTokenIds?: bigint[];
};

Setting waitForTransaction: true in the transaction options will return the licenseTokenId of the newly minted license(s).
