Stable Video Diffusion draws its line in the licensee's accounts
The community licence covers commercial use until the licensee has more than a million dollars in annual revenue. Above that figure the licences granted under the agreement terminate and an enterprise licence has to be requested. As of 2026-09-22.
| What the record holds | As published |
|---|---|
| The published wording | Commercial use is covered until the licensee has more than USD $1,000,000 in annual revenue |
| Where it appears | The community licence agreement |
| How the reading was established | Stated as a threshold in the licensee's own accounts |
| What the cell leaves open | How the threshold is measured across a group of companies |
Inclusion rule. One vendor, one column. A cell earns a page when the vendor publishes something specific there, or when its silence is unusual beside the vendors read with it. Order. Fixed order: the wording, then its address, then the method, then the gap.
1A boundary the customer reports, not one the vendor prices
Every priced row in this column knows which side of the line a customer is on, because it issued the invoice. This one does not: the fact that decides the licence sits in the licensee's accounts, and nobody at the vendor can see it.
That inverts the usual compliance posture. Here the obligation to notice the boundary belongs to whoever is relying on the grant, and a good year moves a business across it without anything visibly happening.
2Terminate is a stronger word than upgrade
The wording does not say a larger plan becomes necessary. It says the licences granted under the agreement terminate, and an enterprise licence has to be requested, which is a request rather than a purchase.
For a fast-growing studio that is the sentence worth reading before the model goes into a pipeline. Work already published does not become unmade, but the basis for continuing is gone until a new arrangement exists.
3What the threshold does not define
Annual revenue of whom, measured how, across which entities: a licence can be read several ways once a group structure is involved, and none of those readings is settled by the sentence itself.
The register records the figure and the consequence. The measurement question is one for counsel with the corporate structure in front of them, which is precisely the kind of question this site does not answer.

4Where this reading came from
The cell above was taken from the community licence published at stability.ai, as that page stood on 2026-09-22. The remaining three cells of the same vendor row sit on Stable Video Diffusion; the column itself is described on commercial use from. This is a filing decision and not legal advice.
