+## Bulk licensing
+Pre-dates [[Nate Merritt]]!
+
+Originally created for agreement with DTS. "Enterprise Account" account alert is used to identify an enterprise account for royalties (??).
+
+Also have Group License and Group License Escrow delivery methods. Bulk License DM was first.
+
+Special page for the bulk license to assign users Temp and Full access (move to full access when student graduates and gets full access).
+
+Terminology: bulk license describes the whole thing. "Access" describes a temp or full user who has access to the resources in the bulk license.
+
+Recipient is a _user_. Doesn't have access to resources, but serves as a bucket for other user accesses.
+## Group licenses
+Always have billing user.  The recipient is a _user_.
+
+A group license _is_ a bulk license.
+
+## Group License Escrow
+You can choose anyone in the group, but not everyone.  Licenses must be manually distributed to members of the group.  If you leave the group, you keep the licenses.
+
+The group is primarily for selecting/finding users to give them licenses.
+
+No concept of infinite slots.
+
+Nate tried to get rid of this because it doesn't make us much revenue, but [[Phil Gons]] wanted to keep it because it's a gateway to our products.
+
+[[Proclaim]] _does not_ use group license escrow.  They have their own [[Proclaim]] licensing. It's separate, owned by the [[Proclaim]] team.  Talked years ago about merging with Libronix licensing.  Would need group billing? Can't remember exact details of why [[Proclaim]] chose to use its own system. They probably need group ownership of the license--to bill a group.  Libronix licensing does not support this.
