-
Trial - You can create an Adobe Learning Manager account and use it without any payment for a period of 30 days. There is no limit on the number of learners registered during the trial period.
-

-
Inactive - An account moves into inactive state in the following scenarios:
- After the trial period if there are no active subscription orders in the account.
- Administrator deactivates the account, which results in canceling all the existing orders in an account from the next billing cycle of subscription.
- Payment is declined for active orders in an account even after reminders.
An inactive state does not cancel your account with immediate effect. You receive at least a couple of reminders from the Learning Manager team asking you to provide the latest information about
your credit card if it has expired. In an inactive state, only an administrator can log in to the Captivate
Learning Manager account. All other users cannot access the account.
- Activation required - Your account moves into this state when the Learning Manager administrator chooses to deactivate the account. All the orders of this account get canceled. The collection of payment for these orders does not happen from the next billing cycle. The status of the account remains in this state until the day of the last billing cycle. In this state, all users can continue to use the application without any impact until the end of the last recurring payment date.

Monthly Active Users (MAU) plan monthlyactiveusersmauplan
You can choose a MAU plan as your preferred way of billing. This option generates billing based on the number of monthly unique active users. The monthly unique active users are added cumulatively for a period of 12 months starting from the month of plan activation. This number is used for billing for the period.
Use the following example to understand how MAU is calculated.
Let there be a case where the number of users per month are as follows:
- Month 1 = 50
- Month 2 = 500
- Month 3 = 5000
- Month 4 to 12 = 10
Total Monthly Active Users that are billed = Month 1 + Month 2 + Month 3 + Month 4 to 12 = 50 + 500 + 5000 + 90 = 5640.
The billing for the period would be for 5640 users.
At the end of the 12-month period, the usage count is reset back to zero and a new period for MAU plan starts. You can add multiple activation keys to increase the purchased number of seats.
Any user who performs the following actions or achieves completions due to actions taken by others is considered as a monthly unique active user for that calendar month.
- Consuming a course, learning program or certification.
- Consuming, downloading a Job Aid or course attachments.
- Consuming, downloading or creating personal notes.
- Participating in Social Learning by creating Boards, posts or comments.
- Achieving completions due to External Certificate submission approvals or attendance for a classroom/virtual classroom sessions.
