What are licences?
Licences are used to decide which classes have access to which subjects and for what period of time.
You will encounter licences in two places: when you're creating a new class and when you're viewing existing classes.
Below is a breakdown of what the different parts of a licence are.
| Item | Description |
| Subject |
See the table below for a full list of subjects that appear on licences. |
| Purchase Status |
A licence may be set to either 'Purchased' or 'Trialling'. This generally depends on whether or not you're subscribed for a particular subject but can also depend on whether or not a licence is for an official competition. |
| Expiry Date |
This is the date the licence will expire on. Any students on this licence will likely lose access once it becomes inactive. |
