Your logo should be provided as an SVG file, filling a 32 by 32 pixel square, and using only white, with no background color. ## Frequently asked questions **Can I buy a license for myself, or do I have to ask my company to buy it for me?** Yes. You can buy a license for yourself by going to your [Account dashboard](https://obsidian.md/account/commercial). Most companies allow you to submit an expense report for the purchase. Some companies may have a different procurement process. Reach out to your IT department to determine their specific procedures. **What business name should I use if I'm purchasing the license myself?** Use your company's name for the license if you expect to be reimbursed by your company. Otherwise, use your legal name as the business name. **Can I purchase a commercial license for multiple employees?** Yes. You can purchase multiple commercial license seats through your [Account dashboard](https://obsidian.md/account/commercial). There is no need for each employee to have their own Obsidian account, you can use a single admin account to purchase all the seats. After purchasing the license, you will receive a license key which you can send to employees to activate their license — see instructions above to activate the license. **Am I required to purchase a commercial license for every employee?** No. Obsidian is 100% free to use and so there is no minimum seat count purchase required. **Can I use the commercial license I purchased on both my work phone and work computer?** Yes. The commercial license is charged per seat count, not per device. This means you can use the same license key on all your individual work devices. **I work in a highly secure environment, in an air-gapped network. How do I apply my commercial license?** In such specialized environments, you don't need to apply the commercial license directly to your installation.
