Campus Licensing is an alternative to the regular licensing model offered for CourseForum.
It offers a per-user licensing model (rather than per-course), and other differences that may make it suitable for consideration, particularly for larger sites, or where users participate in several courses. The exact differences are as follows:
| Standard License | Campus License |
|---|---|
| Number of courses depends on size of license. | Unlimited number of courses. |
| Unlimited number of users per course. | Number of users depends on size of license. |
| Forums can be open, have a single password, or restricted to individual users. | All forum users must be registered, can be restricted to individual users. |
| Users can be registered site-wide, or have separate accounts with each course; guest users are permitted. | All users must be registered site-wide. |
| User accounts are managed entirely within ProjectForum. | User accounts can be managed entirely within ProjectForum, or linked to an external authentication service, e.g. LDAP (*) |
| Projects cannot have their own user access control lists; they can use the course's list or have a shared password. | Every forum, including both courses and projects, can have separate access control lists. |
| All users in a forum have the same permissions. | Can specify separate permissions for each user. |
Pricing for Campus Licenses are on a per-user/per-year basis, and start at US$500 for 250 registered users.
