Can a SCORM file run in an LMS without a corresponding eLearning software license active?
An exported SCORM package should run in the LMS even if you don't have a license for the source software. After all, that's how contractors provide courses to their clients: they just give them the SCORM package.
The exception would be if you got a SCORM package from a contractor or another company—that is, someone else created and published it. In that case, it'd be possible that they included some programming that would shut the course down at the end of the contract. However, that should also be clearly stated in the contract.

Thank you so much! That's what I assumed, but wanted to be sure. I appreciate your help!
