The Spaceport SDK is a versatile tool designed to manage licensing across various industries and content types. Beyond gaming, it empowers creators and platforms in diverse digital ecosystems. Here are some examples:

​
1. Digital Art and Photography Licensing

Artists and photographers can use Spaceport to license their digital creations for commercial or personal use. The SDK facilitates defining usage terms, tracking distribution, and automating royalty payments for every licensed piece.

​
2. Music and Sound Effect Licensing

Musicians and sound designers can license their tracks and sound effects for use in films, games, advertisements, or other media. Spaceport ensures that creators are compensated based on the terms of their licenses, whether it’s per-use, subscription-based, or royalty-sharing.

​
3. Software Component and API Licensing

Developers can license their software libraries, plugins, or API access to other businesses or individuals. Spaceport can manage different tiers of access, usage limits, and recurring billing based on predefined license agreements.

​
Gaming-Specific Use Cases

Within the gaming industry, Spaceport goes beyond just user-generated content to enable a wide range of licensing models for creating rich, dynamic experiences.

​
4. In-Game Asset and Experience Licensing

Create a system where developers can license pre-made game assets (3D models, textures, animations) or even entire interactive experiences (mini-games, levels) for integration into their projects.

  • Asset Creators (Licensors): Game artists and developers can offer their creations for licensing, setting specific terms for how their assets can be used in other games.
  • Game Developers (Licensees): Developers can acquire licenses for high-quality assets or pre-built experiences, accelerating their development process and enriching their games.
  • Platform: You can host a curated library of licensable game content, ensuring quality and managing the licensing agreements automatically.

​
5. User-Generated Content (UGC) Licensing Center

Empower your player community to create and license their own content, from custom maps and levels to unique character models, fostering a vibrant ecosystem.

  • Creators (Licensors): Your players can design and submit their own unique items. Using the SDK, they can define the terms under which others can use their creations.
  • Users (Licensees): Users can browse the licensing center and acquire the rights to use this content within your platform. The platform ensures that usage rights are clear and verifiable.
  • Platform: You can facilitate this entire process, fostering a vibrant creator community while maintaining oversight.

​
6. Automated Royalty Payments

Automate royalty payments to your creators, ensuring they are compensated fairly when their content is used. This is a powerful incentive for creators to build high-quality content for your platform.

  • Automated Tracking: The SDK tracks every time a license is acquired for an asset and automatically calculates the royalty payments due to the original creator.
  • Transparent and Fair: All royalty transactions are recorded and verifiable, providing a transparent and auditable system for your creators.
  • No Manual Payouts: Eliminate the administrative overhead of manual royalty payouts. The Spaceport SDK handles it all.

​
7. Official Content Licensing

Your studio can also act as a licensor, offering official branded content or special items to the community under specific license terms. This creates new monetization opportunities and allows you to control the distribution of premium content.
