Launched in February 2024, the DAACI Open Beta Community is an opportunity for users to help give input, ideas and join the journey as DAACI shapes the future of AI music tools.

Open Beta Community Licenses

  • What is the first beta license available active in the Open Beta Community?

Natural Drums, your AI copilot for Drums.

  • What is a beta license?

Beta licenses are exclusively available to our open beta community and they provide early access to beta products before the full product is released. During the beta phase, we actively gather feedback, test new features, and prepare for the official release with community input along the way. 

  • What is a full product license?

Full product licenses, with additional major features, will be released to the public after the beta feedback has been gathered and the full product is ready to ship.

  • What is a license key?

When there is an active beta license available to the community, you will receive a license key that you use to activate the software. It is often a line of letters and numbers. Please use the whole key to activate your license.

  • Are full product licenses included as part of the Open Beta Community joining fee?

No. You receive access to all beta licenses active within the community. Full product licenses will require a separate purchase.

  • What is the price for full product licenses?

We want your input on this! We'll seek feedback from the community to determine the pricing and ensure it aligns with market expectations. The Open Beta Community will always have priority access and will always receive a discount.

  • Will I get a discount on the full product license?

Yes. Members of the Open Beta Community have first priority access and will always be given a discount on full products ahead of their release to the public. 

  • Do I have to purchase a full product license?

You don’t have to buy any full products to remain a part of the Open Beta Community. You may just be involved because you love testing things out. If you love using our products and want to use the full finished versions, you can buy them at a discounted price due to your community discount. Once a full product license is released, it's completely your choice if you want to purchase it.

  • Can I continue using a beta license after the full product license is released?

Not forever. Once the official product is released, we'll eventually phase out the beta version. At this point, license keys will be deactivated. This won’t happen straight away, and we'll notify you beforehand. You'll receive ample warnings of this before it happens.

  • Do beta licenses have an expiry date?

It varies. You may see an expiry date on your license at the time you receive your license key. Some keys have no expiry date. All beta license keys will eventually be deactivated when the beta is deprecated after full product release. This won’t happen straight away, and we'll notify you beforehand. You'll receive ample warnings of this before it happens.

  • What if my beta license key is set to expire before the full product release?

If your license key has an expiry date that occurs during a beta process that is still active, your key will be extended or the expiry date will be removed for you. Please let us know if you think your key is about to expire and the beta is still active, we will extend or remove the expiry date for you so you can continue to access the beta license during testing.

  • What happens after the full product release, once the current active beta comes to a close?

Look out for the next one! You’ll receive access to any new beta as it is released. Watch out for sneak peeks and announcements of new beta licenses with exciting features and products. As part of the community, you'll stay ahead with early access, exclusive events, discussions, and opportunities to engage. All active beta product licenses are included in your community membership. 

  • How do I access future beta licenses all included in my open beta community membership?

We’ll give you instructions on how to access new beta licenses as they become available.

  • Can I use the beta licenses to create parts for commercial work?

Yes. Anything made using our beta license products is 100% yours. Please note we are not party to your use of third party music, samples etc. Your use of our tools and the music you create with them all belongs to you.
