LMS License Models

What are the most common LMS license models? Find out what our research reveals, so you can choose a learning platform that best meets your organization's needs.

With a registration model, usage calculations can be based on any of several metrics:  how many users log into the LMS, register for an instructor-led class or webinar, buy content or earn a certification. 

Associations, training companies, corporate channel, customer and other extended enterprise buyers can create any number – hundreds of thousands even – of active ongoing accounts but a buying organization only pays for active usage.

In contrast, the smartest buyers always have a commanding understanding of their business model, their preferred software licensing model and contract structure when they're selecting an LMS or any enterprise software.
