Global Licence Tracker

This tracker provides an overview of licensing obligations across global jurisdictions: operator, supplier, hardware and component requirements, and affiliate treatment. It is updated quarterly to reflect the most recent publicly available information. Some entries may be incomplete while we finalise source checks.

Important notice

This resource is a high-level reference only. It does not replace legal or regulatory advice.
Rules change frequently. Provincial, state or city requirements may differ from national frameworks.
Hardware and component approvals can sit with manufacturers, suppliers or operators depending on jurisdiction.
Affiliate obligations may depend on the commercial model: revenue share versus flat-fee can trigger different approvals.
Always verify details with the regulator or qualified counsel before making decisions.

How to use

Use the search box to filter by country, region or regulator.
Open “View More” on any row to read notes and jump to the regulator website.
Look for plain-English outcomes in the Hardware and Affiliate columns.
Revisit each quarter for updates and newly verified sources.
