Do you have to have a license for this?

YES! USE OF THIS TRANSMITTER IS ILLEGAL!! The FCC ID number on this unit would appear to be ENTIRELY BOGUS! This is simply one of zillions of FM transmitters made in China which are almost universally illegal for use in the US and all but certainly any other significant Western nation as well. Legal Part 15 signal levels are based on antenna radiation levels at certain distances from the antenna. Part 15 AM operation is easy with designated antenna lengths and power levels (10 feet & 100 milliWatts (mW)) but FM is not so easy. Suffice it to say that the legal power level is generally MUCH LESS than 100 mW for FM transmitters and is certainly NOT 500 mW (or more). Sain Sonic also uses this same bogus FCC number on their 1/7 Watt AX-7C transmitter. Most Chinese FM transmitters that I have seen (notably on ebay) at least do not list a FALSE FCC number on them. Sain Sonic (or the company supplying them to Sain Sonic to be fair) seems to be uniquely FRAUDULENT in this regard. Information on Part 15 Identification Numbers may be found at: "https://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins/oet63/oet63rev.pdf". The relevant portion is at the top of page 5 of that PDF document. The FCC ID Search Form is at "https://transition.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/Welcome.html". You will find that Sain Sonic FCC ID: 2ABT5AX05B7C is not a valid number on file at the FCC. While at the 100 mW level it is unlikely that anyone will want to track you down you should be very much be aware that the use of Sain Sonic transmitters makes you a PIRATE RADIO operator!

You do not need a license if the signal of this device is "limited to an effective service range of approximately 200 feet" per FCC.

Not as long as your signal is not broadcast off of your own property. If you erect an antenna that allows access by the general public you will need a public airwaves license, regardless of the wattage.

No I do not have a licences for this as it is FCC approved the way it is, just don't do any modifications to it.It works great for me as I just want to listen to music from my computer around the house and garage and outside while doing yard work.

No you do not have to have a license for this. It goes about a half a mile on full power. I suggest going to radio-locator.com and put in your ZIP Code to find an empty frequency. It works great

You just have to buy one of this as a new user and get a add-a-seat license, that way is cheaper.

No, but you can't use it until you are properly licensed. Trying to transmit without a license gets you into serious trouble. You will stick out like a sore thumb and you will be caught.

As far as we know, it is a lifetime license as per the ad on Amazon. I suppose that only time will tell.

When I ordered these and tried to set these up, yes, I was informed I needed a commercial license and that this was only granted to businesses.

Yes. The official licensing is on the back. I get many complements on it. Mostly from 40+ men. It's awesome. Worth the buy.

No, this is not a controlled or regulated product and so you won't need a license to purchase it. If it ever was, Amazon would've disclosed it.

You only need a license to transmit not to own , you can lock out the transmit feature on this radio. I purchased it to for a general reciever for listening only in a compact package , no other full band recievers exist in this size with this many features . If you want to transmit you can go for a novice technician license test given by your local ham radio clubs , you no longer have to know code to take the test , study guides are aviable from the amauteur radio relay league (ARRL). You are allowed to transmit unlicensed ONLY in an emergency situation matter of life or death.

I believe you can just download the software BUT if something happens to your machine and you need to reload it on a new machine before the year is out, I think you'll be required to buy another license. I prefer to actually have the disc so I have options at a later date.

It is my understanding that they offer only a single or three-user license. They are very helpful, go on-line and get their contact telephone number for sales they can give you the details
