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 dont (in the case of teachers).
