INFORMATION FOR PARISHES MOVING FROM WORD OF LIFE INTERNATIONAL 
​TO ONE LICENSE

In June 2017 OneLicense announced that they had acquired Word of Life International. From 1 July all WOLI licences will be transfered to OneLicense at no cost for the remainder of the existing license. This page provides parishes with information to support this transition.

​This short, two-minute film introduces OneLicense: 

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • When does the change happen? Existing Word of Life International Licence holders will transition automatically to OneLicense 1 July, 2017. OneLicense will contact you confirming the transfer of your licence. There will be no additional cost for the transition. For example, if a parish purchased a 12 month licence with Word of Life International in January, this will simply transfer to OneLicense in July for the remaining 6 months of your contract with no cost.
  • How do I report now? You may continue to report to Word of Life International up until 30 June, 2017. They will continue to accept your report in the format that you have been using (either in print or online).
  • Will reporting change with OneLicense? From 1 July, 2017 you will need to report online to OneLicense. This is a simple process. See below for further information and short training video. First time users will need to reset their OneLicense password before reporting by clicking 'forgot password' on the log-in screen. (Click here and scroll to 'How can I log into OneLicense?')  
  • Can I still pay by cheque with OneLicense? OneLicense uses a credit card system. Parishes only using cheques may need to speak with their parish priest about this change.
  • Who can I contact if I need help? ​
  1. ​Word of Life International welcomes contact from parishes in regards to transitioning from WOLI to OneLicense.
  2. OneLicense has an online contact form. Willow Publishing will act as their Australian agents. You can call them on 02 9948 3957 or email orders@asonevoice.com.au .
  3. Liturgy Brisbane's Education Officer, James Robinson,  is also available to assist with any questions or training. ​

Cost

  • Existing Word of Life International Licence holders:  If you have already paid/have an existing Word of Life International Licence there is no additional cost. Your licence will simply transition to OneLicense. Please note there will be changes to the way you report from 1 July (see below). 
  • What will the costs be in the future? The Pricing Guide lists new licence costs. Most parishes require an annual licence and possibly adhoc event licences . An annual licence for a parish where the average weekly attendance is 201 to 400 people will cost $444 + tax.

HOW TO REPORT ONLINE USING ONE LICENSE

  • The reporting period is weekly (see below), although this can be retrospective so you could report four weeks at the end of the month.
  • Be aware that you may need to report lyrics/text and music separately and some music may not be covered by OneLicense. (Hillsong music for example. See links for how to do seek permission to use their music). Parishes must determine this before the music is played, printed, recorded or broadcast. 
  • The reporting cycle is Wednesday through to the following Thursday. Reporting is online, via the OneLicense website.
  • You may not find the music recorded under the hymnal you are using. In this case, locate the version you are using and record that, despite it being listed in a different hymnal in the OneLicense database.
