Buy licenses
The number of licenses you purchase corresponds to the number of times you can assign the purchased course to a different Learner. Licenses aren’t used when you assign Instructors to the course.
1. Select the course you wish to purchase licenses for.
2. On the course overview page, click the Buy licenses button (1).
3. A drawer will open on the right side of your screen. Type the number of Licenses you want to purchase (2). You’ll see a calculation of the price for the number of licenses you chose, minus any bulk discount that may apply.
Note: To find detailed information on the available volume discounts, click the Learn more button (3) below the Licenses field. Here’s a quick example to understand how the discount tiers work:

4. Click Buy Licenses (4) to continue. You’ll be safely redirected to Stripe to complete your payment.
5. Enter your credit card information (Card number, Expiration date, CVC, Cardholder’s Name) as well as your Country or region in the relevant fields and click Pay (5) to complete your purchase.
The course is now added to your list of courses.
Note: If the course is free, a Get this course button will appear on the course overview instead of a Buy licenses button. Once you click it, a confirmation box will show up. Click Get course once more and the course will be immediately added to your TalentLMS portal. |
Managing courses purchased from the Course Store
Once you acquire a course from a third-party provider, you’ll be able to find it under the Courses menu of your portal, alongside the rest of your course offerings. You can edit the course description, change the course image, and add new content.
Note: For security reasons, you can’t clone the courses you acquire from the Course Store. |
How licenses work
Purchased courses will have a numerical indication for the number of Licenses you own.
When you assign the course to a Learner, one of your licenses is Reserved, and the number of remaining licenses decreases by one.
- When the Learner successfully completes or fails a course, that license is Consumed and can’t be reused.
- On the other hand, if the Learner doesn’t complete the course and you eventually unenroll them from it, that license is added back to your available licenses and can be reused.
