Hello Cinners,

Hope you're having a good monring. I have a few students that our Academy have purchsed CompTIA Learn, Labs and Practice for. The subscription is for one year, but the students will not be using them for an entire year.

Can I transfer that license to another student?

With Appcreication,

Afraid not. Licenses and vouchers are non-transferable. /r

That's a big no. Not transferable. We have students who withdraw before even accessing their materials. There is no way to transfer them to someone else.
 
If you're a school, cant you assign the licenses to a seat so to speak and whoever uses that seat can use the license until it expires?
It would follow the same basic methodology as an electronic book - the publisher licenses to real individuals, not by seat; CompTIA doesn't license that way.

If you use TestOut, you CAN assign them to a student, pull them back, and reassign them to another student. However, they are still only valid for the purchase period. This is something to consider for your next purchase.
I have a pretty good suspicion that this will go away when CompTIA rolls out the "unified platform".

I don't think that is the way it is intended or as the terms and conditions apply and state. I had a demo last week from Test Out and asked about if materials could be reassigned to someone else if they were unused - I was told no.

Probably right about it - when I used LabSIM extensively before, I believe the EULA did have a non transfer clause. But that didn't stop someone from passing the DVD to someone else. Of course, they couldn't register things online, but they could still use the disc.

It was ages past.
