Cancelling from the Mechanical Licensing MLC

Content under review. Check back soon.

When you cancel collection from the MLC via your CDB account that decision is permanent.

The cancellation will take effect at the end of current quarter. For example, if you cancel in May it will take effect at the end of June. If you cancel in October it will take effect at the end of December. We’ll email you a confirmation with the date the cancellation takes effect.

Please wait at least 30 days from the date in the email to sign up for MLC collection directly and then use the Claiming Tool via the Member Portal or you can claim via another company to avoid delays. If you wish to continue to use The MLC, here is a helpful article on how to use their claiming tool.

You may continue to see royalties from the MLC posted to your CDB account after the cancellation takes effect.
