Setting an expiry date for published content
Hi there.
As the title says, I was wondering if there was any way to set an expiry date for published content, which would basically stop users from being able to view the content after a specifi...
Jim,
SCORM Cloud has a rather unique pricing strategy that I think you might have misunderstood. Check out: http://scorm.com/scorm-solved/scorm-cloud-pricing/scorm-cloud-pricing-all-of-the-details/
"Do I have to keep paying for registrations each month once I have created them?
Great news! We want to be awesome to you, so you only pay for the registration when it was created. After that, learners can access the course as often and as long as they like (or you want them to) without any additional registration fees."
This means that you pay only for the registrations "purchased" that month. They even send you an email right before you are billed, I believe so that you can go into your account and change your plan accordingly if you have had a lot of registrations that month. This easily gets the cost per registration down to $0.10 each for large numbers. You should at least set up a trial account to check out their functionality,
We've worked with Geoff at Rustici (SCORM Cloud) quite a bit and their guys are amazingly helpful. Oddly, they don't really seem to be in it to make money, just to be SCORM evangelists. They do sell an Enterprise product though, if you would like your own SCORM Cloud.
Thanks,

We are actually using SCORM Cloud and the potential customer cannot get the dispatch file to work so we are trying to find a way to make the courses "expire" at the end of their contract so that we don't lose $$$ and proprietary content after that time. The "potential" client's LMS appears to be the issue and so not having this feature that is apparently common in SL's competitor's products is insane to me. Very frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND the idea that we might have to manually edit all 130+ courses for someone just to get them to work for them and think about buying from us is outrageous.
