Specify the fee for an “Individual license”. This is the fee someone will pay when they for each user license purchased. In other words, if you enter "$10.00" and a user buys 1 license, they will be charged $10.00 (plus applicable taxes). If they were to purchase 3 licenses, they would be charged $30.00 total (plus applicable taxes.)The box next to the

A "Site license"
is a type of license that permits all members within an organization (e.g., a specific site) to enroll in your course for a fixed fee. In other words, if you enter "$1000.00" and a site has 500 users, they would
be charged $1,000.00 (plus applicable taxes) total, and all 500 users could
enrol in the course without
paying extra.
A "Volume discount" enables you to offer a special rate depending on the number of licenses a user buys. This discount can be applied as a percentage off the total purchase (e.g., 10% off) or as a per-user fee (e.g., $10 per license).

Important Notes
The “License expires after” value is different than the "Enrolment duration", which can be found on the same web page. The "License expires after" specifies how long after a purchase all enrolments will expire. The "Enrolment duration" specifies how long after a user enrols in a course they will continue to have access to the course. If the “Enrolment duration” is left empty, it means the user will continue to have access to the course until the license expires.
You can add multiple enrollment methods of the same type. By setting a value for "Only cohort members" in any method, you can therefore set different prices for different cohorts. For example, if you have a cohort called Preferred Partners, you can set "Only cohort members" to "Preferred Partners" and set the “Individual license” to be $100 per user. You can then add a second enrollment method without any restrictions and set the “Individual license” to $200 per user. By doing so, the preferred partners would pay $100 and everyone else would pay $200 to enroll in your course. In order for this to work properly, the "Preferred partners" enrollment method must be at the top of the page in the list of enrolment methods (e.g. above the non-restricted enrolment method).
Using the same strategy as explained above, you can add a third / free enrollment method for your staff to self-enroll at no cost. If doing so, please make sure that you set "Only cohort members" to a cohort that represents your staff.
Given the complexity of refunds (who gets refunded, how much is refunded, how long do they have to get a refund, etc.), refunds must be are handled manually.
