CoCalc - Institutional Licenses
The price of a CoCalc license is proportional to the number of active projects and the amount of resources allocated to each project.
Number of active projects: You can assign a license to as many projects as you need. However, the run limit of the license is the upper bound to the number simultaneously running projects.
Assuming each individual works on average in one project, the number of people who are actively using CoCalc at the very same time will be close to the number of active projects. Also, usually the number of actively running projects is well below the total number of people in your organization.
Note: if that run limit of simultaneously active projects is exceeded, those extra projects are still accessible, but will run without any upgrades.
Amount of resources: minimal upgrades might be okay for day-to-day calculations and editing documents, but you will run into limitations if your requirements are higher. Please contact us if you have questions, or need a trial license to test out different options.
Multiple license keys: You can also acquire several license keys for your institution. This means you can partition all users into smaller groups, each with their own license key. This is useful if you want to have distinct license keys for different departments, or if you want to have a license key for students and another one for faculty members. Additionally, you can also acquire an additional license for a shorter period of time, to cover periods of increased activity – e.g. final exams.
After purchase: Once you have purchased a license key, you become a "license manager". This means you can pass that license key on to others, track their usage, and add other people as license managers.
