Under the Envato Elements License, if you want to use the same Item for separate projects, you will need to create a new license for each end-use. This ensures you comply with the license terms and supports the contributors.
How do I create a new license?
New Envato experience
With the new Envato experience, we've introduced "one-click" downloads and licensing to make the process smoother, so you can start using your Items right away without any extra steps.
When you download, a license is automatically created with the date it was licensed, directly from the search page as well as the item page. This makes it easier to find later in your Downloads if you need it.
If you like to assign each license to a specific end-product or project name, you can still do that at download time by clicking the Manage button, where you can create a new project or choose from existing ones.
Envato Elements classic site
- To license an already downloaded item for a new project, simply visit your 'My Downloads' page:
- Find the item you want to relicense for a new project and click 'Download' or 'View licenses'.
- You will see a "Download" window where you can license an item for another existing project (for instance, when the item will form part of a deliverable for a client). Or you can Create a new project to license the item to. To help you keep track of your licenses, you must name each project you are obtaining a new license for.

Why is it important to create a new license for each project?
Not only are you legally required to relicense an item for each individual project you use it in, but doing so also ensures the contributor who created it will be paid accordingly for your usage.
