In relevant organizations, administrators have the ability to revoke subscription licenses from learners any time during their active contract. Once a subscription license has been revoked, it can then be re-assigned to a different learner for active use. Don’t worry, edX will know the transition has occurred and keep the data for the two learners separated. However, revoking a license does change the user experience significantly.
Revoking a subscription license will:
- Prevent the former license holder from enrolling in additional courses at no cost
- Downgrade any courses that were in progress to the “audit track.” In the audit track, the former license holder is prevented from passing further assessments and earning a certificate
Revoking a license does NOT:
- Delete the former license holder’s account
- Invalidate or delete previous accomplishments from the former license holder. All earned certificates remain available for download and associated with the learner
- Prevent the former license holder from logging into your organization’s learner portal in a “view only” mode
- Prevent the former license holder from taking future courses on edx.org, as an individual pursuing their personal learning journey
- Prohibit the administrator from re-assigning a license to the learner in question at a later date
