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).
