Sorry voor de OT, maar ik ontkom er helaas niet aan, hier dan toch maar de FAQ van Vienna Symphonic Library over gebruik van hun materialen. Zoals gezegd, andere fabrikanten kunnen verschillende systemen hanteren, zoals Deins al heeft vastgesteld, maar dit is ongeveer waar het om draait.

Do I have to pay additional licensing fees if my use of these samples ends up on a hit record or other high-profile projects?
NO, your original purchase of the disc is your only license fee, and you´re free to use it in as many musical recordings as you want, forever. We hope you do get to use our sounds on a hit!
Do I have to credit this disc if I use it on a recording?
With your purchase, you agree to use the following wording in any credits or liner notes accompanying the music recording, be it a music CD, cassette, or soundtrack compilation: "Orchestral samples included in this recording from the Vienna Symphonic Library". Screen credit for film and television use is not required.
Can my writing partner, colleagues or friends use these samples once I´ve licensed the disc? Can I form a group to buy and share discs?
NO, each person who uses the sounds must purchase their own copy (which licenses them to use the sounds). Anyone other than the original purchaser of the disc, who uses the sounds, is doing so illegally - risking legal action against both them and their clients! Contact us regarding package deals for special circumstances.
Can I offer these sounds to clients as part of my recording studio or rental company services? Or, as a freelance sound designer, can I put custom compilation discs together which include your sounds for my composer clients?
NO. Sorry, but each person who uses the sounds (the creative person) has to be a licensed user. Otherwise, this could cause tremendous legal problems for studio or rental clients.
Can I use these samples to make "Music Libraries?"
YES, unlike some Soundware companies, this is fully allowed with all of our products. The sounds have to be used within a musical context, however, and cannot be presented isolated or "solo'ed."
Can I use these sounds in Multimedia projects?
MAYBE, as long as the sounds are irremovably imbedded in music. Contact us if you´re still unsure.
Can I use these sounds to make and publish DLS sets?
NO. Any such usage is prohibited without prior clearance from us. Otherwise, you´re in direct violation of our license agreements. Contact us for more information.
Is it OK to sell the used disc to someone else if I´m finished with the project that I needed it for?
NO. Unlike your musical gear, music CDs, or even software, you cannot give away or sell these discs to someone else. YOU DID NOT PURCHASE THE DISC. YOU PURCHASED A LICENSE TO USE OUR SOUND RECORDINGS IN YOUR MUSIC. This license cannot be transferred by you.
