What is the meaning of the “Reaper-only” license? How does it differ from “All hosts, commercial use license”? I work part-time in a recording studio and may be interested in using them in the studio. Would the Reaper-only not be the correct version for me to purchase if using in the studio? How about if I were just using it (or them) at home for personal use? Thanks for your time and help with clearing this up for me.

NOTE: Updated August, 2026
The REAPER-only, non-commercial license has two restrictions, and both apply:
The plugin is licensed only when used inside REAPER.
It may be used only for non-commercial work.
This license is intended for hobbyists using REAPER to make music for their own enjoyment. If you are using the plugin for paid studio work, client work, a monetized release, or anything intended to generate income, you need the All hosts, commercial use license—even if REAPER is your DAW.
The location does not determine the license: paid work performed in a home studio is still commercial use. Personal hobby work performed at home in REAPER is the intended use for the discounted license.
The All hosts, commercial use license permits commercial work and authorizes the plugin in any supported host, including REAPER.
The plugin itself and its sound processing are the same under either license; the difference is where and for what kind of work you are authorized to use it.
For the complete current terms, see our Licensing page.

Cool…got it. I had actually never heard of “Reaper” before…I had no idea that it was a DAW until I googled it…that would’ve help to answer my question almost entirely had I known that. The “commercial” and “non-commercial” part was obviously common sense, the “Reaper” part was the only thing throwing me off. Thanks for the quick response! I’ve just started testing the Bad Buss Mojo and Major Tom…both of which I love so far…which is, of course, the reason I was inquiring on the purchase. Thanks again for your help!
