Licenses
fancybox is licensed under the
GPLv3 license for all open source applications.
A commercial license is required for all commercial applications (including sites, themes and
apps you plan to sell).
Safe and Secure payments are processed by FastSpring.
Is there a WordPress plugin available?
Not yet, but it is planned to be released this fall. It is going to be awesome.
I already have a fancybox 2 license. Do I need to upgrade it?
No. All licenses purchased before February 24st 2017 have been automatically upgraded to their current equivalent and no action is required by the license holder.
What is the main difference between Single and Extended license?
Single Commercial license allows you to use fancybox in one project (e.g, website, mobile app, etc). Cannot be used in salable software.
Extended Commercial license covers all projects made by you or one salable software (for example, one wordpress theme).
Can I use fancybox in product sold for multiple clients (for example, in theme sold on Themeforest)?
By purchasing ONE "Extended Commercial license", you are allowed to include fancybox in ONE product (for example: premium
theme, plugin or template) for sale. Customers and users of your product do not
need to purchase their own license — as long as they are not developing their
own commercial products with fancybox.
Warning
You are not allowed to create a product directly competing with fancybox. For example, you are not allowed to create a premium
plugin whose main purpose is to bring modal/lightbox functionality to website.
Is this a one time payment?
All licenses are perpetual for the licensed version of the software: you can use them for as long as you like.

Display close button on top of the video; custom start time
