## Set Up a Content-Provider Platform

- In **Platforms**, click **Create Platform**.
- Fill out:
  - **Display Name** – e.g., Licensing Demo
  - **Platform Key** – e.g., licensing-demo
  - Add initial **tenant-admin credentials** (username, email, password)
- Click **Save**.
- A new content-provider tenant and its admin account are now created.


## Log In as the Tenant Admin

- Sign out of the super-admin account (if needed).
- Log in with the **tenant-admin credentials** you just set up.
- You’ll land on **Skills**. From there, you also have access to **AI Analytics**.


## Author Course Content for the Provider

- Go to **Studio → Authoring**.
- Open **Courses** and click **Add New Course**.
- In the creation form:
  - **Course Name**: Licensing Demo (or similar)
  - **Organization**: auto-filled with the provider’s tenant
- Click **Create Course**.
- Add at least one unit (e.g., a multiple-choice problem).
- **Publish** the course and set course dates in the past so it’s immediately accessible.


## Assemble Courses into a Program

- Still in **Authoring**, choose **Programs → Add New Program**.
- Enter a **program name**, e.g., Licensing Program.
- Paste the **Course ID** of the course you just created.
- Add more Course IDs as needed.
- Click **Save**.


## Create a Program License (Super Admin)

- Log back in as a **Super Admin**.
- Open **Data Manager → Program Licenses**.
- Click **Add Program License** and fill out:
  - **Display Name**: e.g., Licensing Demo
  - **Count**: total seats purchased (e.g., 10)
  - **Start Date / Expire Date**: set the access window (optional but recommended)
- In the pop-up:
  - Select the **Platform** you created earlier
  - Select the **Program** you assembled
- Click **Save**.
- The program license is now active and enabled by default.


## Verify in Tenant Analytics

- Log back in as the **Tenant Admin**.
- Go to **Analytics → Licenses**.
- The new license pool (e.g., Licensing Demo) appears in the list with seat count and dates.


## Assign Licenses to Groups or Individuals

- In **Analytics → Licenses**, select the license pool.
- Choose **Group** or **Individual** assignment.
  - For a **Group**, pick an existing group (e.g., IBL V1) and click **Assign**.
  - For an **Individual**, search for and select specific users.
- The assigned seats now show under the **Groups** or **Individuals** tab.


## Key Takeaways

- **Platform** = tenant for the content provider
- **Courses → Program → Program License** is the content chain
- **Seat Count** controls how many users can access the program
- **Start/Expire dates** define the license window
- **Tenant admins** assign seats via **Analytics → Licenses** to groups or users


You’ve now created a content-provider tenant, authored courses, bundled them into a program, issued a license pool, and assigned seats—all within mentorAI.
