Licenses

VR & Monitor Licenses

Ovation can be used with a virtual reality headset or a computer monitor. These are referred to as VR Mode and Monitor Mode. A user must have the proper license type to use Ovation in these modes.

A VR license allows users to use Ovation in either VR or Monitor Mode. A Monitor license only allows a user to use Ovation in Monitor Mode.

Individual Subscribers

During trial activation, individual subscribers can choose between a VR license or a Monitor license. To change the license type later, visit the Billing page while signed into your account on our web portal.

Individual subscribers receive 1 license and are not able to purchase more.

Organization Subscribers

Organization subscriptions start with 5 VR licenses and 5 Monitor licenses.

Organization licenses are based on a concurrent user licensing model. Each time a member of the Organization launches the Ovation application, they must sign in. While they are signed in, they are reserving a VR or Monitor license, depending on their device. When they sign out, that license becomes available again.

For example, a university with 10 VR and 5 Monitor licenses could have 15 students using Ovation simultaneously. If a 16th student attempted to launch Ovation and sign in, they would be prevented from doing so until a license became available. If that 16th student plans to use Ovation in VR Mode, they would need 1 of the 10 students currently using a VR license to sign out before they can use it themselves.

To clarify further, because a VR license allows a user to use Ovation in either VR or Monitor Mode, the university, in this example, could have 15 students all using Ovation in Monitor Mode.

Ovation's flexible concurrent user licensing model means that organizations do not need to worry about how many headsets or computers they install Ovation on, how many "learners" they will have, or what their full-time equivalents (FTE) count is.
