A common problem amongst edtech companies and publishers is how to manage access to their products. This problem is doubly hard when companies have multiple products or titles to manage.
After a number of conversations with clients (and some deep thought), we realized that licensing was a natural extension of our existing "sharing rules" feature. In essence, they aimed to solve a similar problem: filtering down users by specific criteria.
Now, when you're setting up a rule on one of your integrations, you'll have the ability to specify one or more products to assign to that group of users. Licenses can be assigned at the school, class, or individual person level, and can optionally include a start and/or end date. As teachers and students move around and rosters change, your licenses will always be applied to the most up to date set of users.
