Answer: When someone visits your site from their workplace's learning environment powered by Dual Code via the OCI, the learning environment knows enrolment method can estimate how many users the workplace is licensed forwork at that workplace. For example, if someone visits your site from "Northern Healthcare" (a fictitious hospital), it can tell the enrolment method is able to estimate that Northern healthcare may have "up to 10,000 users". In this example, it doesn't mean that Northern Healthcare has 10,000 employees nor that it needs to train 10,000 learners. It simply means that they could potentially have 10,000 users access your course. But In practicality, Northern Healthcare may still only require 53,000 users to take your course.
For budgeting purposes, many organizations prefer to buy site licenses rather than buying a specific number of licenses. This prevents them from running out of licenses, and having to go through another procurement process to buy additional licenses after they run out. As such, it's usually a good idea to set the site license prices whenever selling your courses. It's also generally a good idea to offer a significant discount for site licenses, with the understanding once again that generally speaking, a site with "up to 10,000" users will not likely train 10,000 users. Generally speaking, Dual Code recommends setting the price point for site licenses between 40% to 60% of the individual fee, but but that is totally at your discretion. For example, if the price for an individual license is set at $10, we would recommend setting the following fees for site licenses:
- Site license (up to 1,000 users): Between $4,000 and $6,000
- Site license (up to 10,000 users): Between $40,000 and $60,000
These The fees above are simply suggestions and you are free to sell your courses at the fees you want.
Q. Can a site with "up to 10,000 users" only buy 100 licenses if that's all they need?
Answer: Yes. A site is not required to buy licenses for all their staff. They can still purchase a specific number of licenses. Continuing on the example above, if Northern Healthcare only needs to train 3,000 users, it would be advantageous for them to buy 3,000 licenses at $10 each (total = $30,000) than it would be to buy a site license between $40,000 and $60,000.
Q. Does the system enforce the number of licenses purchased?
Answer: Yes. If an organization only purchases 100 licenses, the system will automatically track the number of licenses that are consumed and they could not enrol users above 100. They would be required to buy additional licenses.
Q. Is a site license an unlimited license?
Answer: Not really. When a site buys a site license, they buy a number of licenses based on an estimate of the number of users they could potentially train. If the enrolment method determines that they may potentially train up to 1,000 users, their license will be restricted to 1,000 users. If the estimate is incorrect and the site turns out to have 5,000 users, they will not be able to train all 5,000 users. They will need to buy additional licenses to train the additional 4,000 users they wish to train.
