License and Subscription Management

Licenses and Subscriptions- Understanding the Difference

Licenses

• What an organization purchases (i.e. 500 seats of MyWorld Grade 6 for 1 year)

Subscriptions

• The relationship between the licensed product and an individual user (i.e. Mrs. Jones is subscribed to MyWorld Grade 6) Note: Sometimes subscriptions count against seats (in the case of students), and sometimes they don’t (in the case of teachers).
