User-Based License

Question

User-Based License

Accepted Answer

User-based licenses is a type of license for school and districts wherein the total count of the users defines the access to the content on the platform. 
While creating user-based license, the publisher defines the count of users that can access the content within the PO (purchase order). 
The user associated with the content within the PO created through user-based license can access the content on mobile devices as well as on the web platform. 
To prevent piracy and prevent misuse their is a restriction of 4 devices that users can have a perpetual login and access to the content. This limit can be increased from the backend on request.

In a user-based license, the number of licenses refers to the total number of users in the school/district who can be rostered on the portal and access the content.

License Consumption in User-Based License
For a user-based license, the license consumption will depend on the "Number of Licenses" i.e. count of the users mentioned while creating the license. 
For first-time school/district onboarding
Example- If the publisher creates a user-based license for a school, where the number of licenses = 100
It means a total of 100 users (including students, teachers, school admin) can be rostered in the school, and the license will be distributed and consumed by these users only. 
Note- It is mandatory to create a license first in order to roster students and teachers on the portal. School admins can be created even if you do not have a school license yet. Once the license is created the count of school admin is automatically deducted from the license. i.e if the publisher has created 5 school admins and the number of licenses is 100, it means 95 licenses will be remaining (Another 95 users including school admin, teachers, and students can be rostered in the school). 
After onboarding, for new license allocation
Example- If the school has 100 students, 25 teachers, and 5 school admin out of which you want to give license access to only 50 students, 8 teachers, and 2 school admin. 
Then, the 'Number of Licenses'while creating the new license should be minimum 60 i.e. (50 students +8 teachers +2 school admin)
