CCS offers several licenses:
- Performance License – Worship anywhere and legally play & perform 17 million songs outside your services.

- Streaming License – Legally stream music. This one-stop license allows you to webcast up to 17 million songs.
- Custom Licensing – CCS manages the entire license procurement process for you. Projects like CDs, DVDs, photocopies, downloads and web sites require permissions to use copyrighted works.
