Why Educational Software Licensing Is Uniquely Hard
EdTech platforms serve institutions, departments, instructors, cohorts, and individual learners at the same time.
Each group brings different access rules, procurement workflows, and academic calendar constraints.
Campus Licences Need Departmental Control
Institutions may negotiate campus-wide agreements while departments and faculties need different seat pools, modules, or course access. Site licensing works best when central contracts still allow local entitlement control.
Access Must Follow the Semester
Learner entitlements often need to open on the first day of term and close after the final submission date, not at the end of a generic billing cycle. Academic access windows should be explicit and repeatable.
Seasonal Seat Churn Every Term
Enrolments surge at the start of a semester and change again after exams, transfers, and graduation. Automated learner seat provisioning keeps access aligned with the current class roster.
Renewals Need Adoption Evidence
Institutional renewals depend on usage evidence: active learners, course adoption, department activity, and seat utilisation. Without those records, procurement conversations become harder than they need to be.
Entitlements Built Around Academic Cycles
NetLicensing maps educational software licensing to the way institutions actually buy and use products: by term, cohort, campus, department, and learner.
Campus Site Licences With Floating Seats
Grant institution-wide access using a shared pool of concurrent seats. The Floating model supports campus licences where departments and faculties can share a pool or receive isolated allocations with independent limits.Learn about Floating model →
Semester & Cohort-Bounded Provisioning
Create time-bound entitlements that open on the first day of term and expire at the end of a course, semester, or contract period. Combine with subscriptions for annual institutional renewals and recurring academic access windows.Learn about Subscription model →
Learner Usage Data That Wins Renewals
Provision and deprovision learner seats programmatically through the REST API. Track access per learner, course, and department so institutional renewal discussions can be supported by adoption data instead of guesswork.All platform features →
