How to Get a License NFT

How to get a License NFT (ETCMCv2)

This guide shows how to buy or obtain an ETCMCv2 License NFT on Ethereum Classic using the official license page. You will connect your wallet, choose a method (Mint, Claim Legacy, or Marketplace), and confirm the required prompts in your wallet (for example MetaMask).

Security warning: Always verify the website URL before connecting your wallet. Never share your seed phrase. Wallet confirmations happen inside your wallet (e.g., MetaMask).

1) Before you start 2) Open the license page & connect your wallet 3) Choose a method (Mint / Claim Legacy / Marketplace) 4) Confirm in your wallet (spending cap + transaction) 5) After completion (My Licenses + Token ID)

1) Before you start

Important: Licenses and ETCPOWv2 utilities run on Ethereum Classic (ETC). Make sure your wallet is set to the correct network when interacting with ETCMCv2 dApps.

2) Open the license page & connect your wallet

Open the official license page: https://main.etcmc.xyz/licenses

3) Choose a method (Mint / Claim Legacy / Marketplace)

After your wallet is connected, you have three ways to obtain a license NFT:

Available options

Mint License — Creates a brand-new License NFT.
Claim Legacy — Uses a v1 license/NFT entitlement to mint a new License NFT, usually with a discount. (If you have legacy eligibility, the page will show it.)
Marketplace — Buy License NFTs listed by other users (secondary market).

Note: If you don’t have enough ETCPOWv2, use the DEX to swap first: https://swap.etcmc.xyz/#/swap

In most cases, you will use Mint License (new) or Claim Legacy (legacy discount). The Marketplace is for purchasing already-minted licenses from other users.

4) Confirm in your wallet (spending cap + transaction)

When you click Mint or Claim, your wallet will open and you must approve the prompts. Typically, there are two confirmations:

4.1 Spending Cap / Token Approval

First, MetaMask may show a Spending cap request. This allows the dApp contract to spend the required amount of tokens for the mint/claim. Review the amount and click Confirm.

4.2 Transaction Confirmation

Next, MetaMask will show the actual transaction request. Confirm it to submit the mint/claim on-chain. (A small ETC network fee may apply.)

4.3 Wait for completion

After confirming, the license page may show a Claiming... / processing state while the transaction is mined. This can take a moment depending on network conditions.

Tip: If a confirmation popup doesn’t appear, check that MetaMask is unlocked and you’re on the correct network (Ethereum Classic). Also ensure popups are not blocked by your browser.

5) After completion (My Licenses + Token ID)

Once the transaction is finished, refresh the license page (F5 / pull-to-refresh).
Go to the My Licenses tab.
Your new License NFT should appear there.
Important: Note the Token ID of your License NFT — you will need it later for software registration.

Keep your Token ID safe. It is required during software registration and helps identify your specific License NFT.
