Use Cases
Sell With Content Licenses
Paid Academy products with time-bounded licenses on top of Learn visibility.
Situation
You’re selling content and want each completed paid order to issue a content license with a fixed validity (one month to five years)—not only catalog visibility.
Outcome
When an order completes in Academy, the buyer gets a license. Starting and finishing (or hitting attempt limits / expiry) follows the rules in Content Licenses. Learners normally need both Learn visibility and a valid license.
Who
Administrators configuring paid Academy products. Learners purchase or receive licenses; they take content in Learn.
Path
- Follow Sell a Course with a paid product (Purchase availability; Stripe integration or Manual flow).
- Enable Use licensing for this content and pick License validity — Content Licenses.
- Confirm how licenses interact with attempts and visibility on that page, in Enrollment and Notifications, and on the learner side in Visibility in Learn / Attempt Limits.
- Manage holders under Manage Academy → product Visibility and access → Manage licenses, or Add license on a user profile in Users and Profiles.
Tips
- Licenses sit on top of visibility—they do not replace Visibility and targets. Manual issuance also grants individual visibility.
- In Learn, blocked access often shows Buy License. That button opens the Academy product; read whether the dialog says a visibility problem or License required.
- A license is issued when the order completes (or when an admin issues one) and consumed on successful completion, attempt exhaustion, or validity end.
- For programs, learners need a program license to start inner content—a standalone license for an inner course is not enough.
