Becoming licensed

There are multiple forms of license available with Appalachian State University, depending on the type of product, how it is manufactured and whether you are in-state.

  • Standard License: allows you to produce products for resale, including, but not limited to, wholesale and retail.
  • Internal Usage License: allows you to produce products intended to be sold directly to the university that are not for resale. This does not include sales to the University Bookstore.
