Real Content Licensing...please explain.

Hi, I guess this is a question for an Articulate staff member. I am trying to understand how the licensing for the Real Content in Rise 360 works.
As I am an e.learning content creator. Can I freely give these courses to my clients to use. They are really of little value to me if I can't use them in this way. Also can I add modules to them or change the wording to reflect a certain countries terminology or requirements?
I checked out your terms, but I am not sure it explains how the complete courses licensing works.
Hope you can help.

Hi Steve! The answer is pretty much yes, with a few exceptions on what you can't do with some of the real content! But you are free to localize them or use them for your clients. The more nuanced answer is here. I'll note that when we say "Courses based on or containing real content templates have to remain as Rise 360 courses", that doesn't mean you can't export them. You can certainly export them and do with them whatever you'd like, with those couple of exceptions. Hope that helps!
Thanks for clearing the licensing up. That is great news. Cheers Steve
Hi, Can you please explain "Courses based on or containing real content templates have to remain as Rise 360 courses"? I realise you said we can export them for the web and maybe white label them, which is what I was looking to do but am unclear on how they would reamain Rise 360 courses.
Thanks!
TawaCal, I believe they want to avoid their content ending up in a different software platform, or being appropriated in a blog post or article etc. So don't copy/paste the content elsewhere.
Thank you Phil! Does this mean I can't host it on a platform such as TalentLMS?
Thanks again!
You can import a Rise course that was built using real content into any LMS.
You can host it on any LMS or web server, as long as you're uploading the course that was published/exported from Rise. But I'm not a lawyer (yet) if you think you might be violating the terms, I would submit a support ticket with Articulate and explain exactly what you're doing.
Thanks!
Thanks!
