Specify the various fees
The box next to the "Individual license" is meant to collect the fee for one (1) user license. In other words, if you enter "$10.00" and a user buys 3 licenses, they would be charged $30.00 total (plus applicable taxes.)
The box next to the "Site license" fields is meant to collect the total fee for all users in a given site. In other words, if you enter "$1000.00" and a site has 500 users, they would

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"
(assuming you have a cohort called Preferred Partners)and set the
cost“Individual license” to be $100
, andper user. You can then add a second enrollment method without any restrictions and set the
cost“Individual license” to $200 per user. By doing so, the preferred partners would
bepay $100 and everyone else would pay $200 to
self-enroll in your course. In order for this to work properly, the "Preferred partners" enrollment method
butmust 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.
