How do I send Pay Per Use (PPU) courses to my LMS using an OpenSesame List?

Note: This method assumes that courses do not have multiple license types available. If any course in your List also has a non-PPU license, please select the desired license type from its Course Details Page. 

If you have a PPU account and do not use an LMS integration, learn how to download course packages for your LMS here.

First, head to your Lists while logged in to the OpenSesame marketplace within your Learning Management System (LMS). You can find this by hovering over the account name at upper right and selecting “Lists”:

From there, click the name of the List that has the courses you want to add:

Click the box to the immediate left of a course's title to select specific courses to send. If you’d like to select all courses, simply click the top box:

As soon as any course is selected, a few buttons will appear:

Note: If the "Add to library" button does not appear, your account is not configured for Pay-Per-Use licenses. 

Please remember that you must add courses to your PPU library before you will be able to successfully send packages to your LMS. (Packages will only send for courses with an active license.) If you know that all of your desired courses are already in your PPU library, go ahead and click the "Select for LMS" button. That will lead to the following message:

If you still need to add courses to your PPU library, which will create licenses for them, click the "Add to library" button instead:

You'll briefly see a progress bar then will be returned to your List. A success message looks like this:

Creating PPU licenses from a List automatically adds them to your Courses dashboard, with no need to click the "Select for LMS" button. Navigate to that dashboard by returning to the drop-down menu under the account name and selecting "Courses":

You will automatically land on the Pending tab:

All courses will have the “pending” status until sent to the LMS. Once sent, they will appear in the History tab. The trash-can icon at right allows you to remove any courses you decide not to send.

Note the “Send to LMS” button at left:

Please click it whenever you are ready to proceed, and this will send the courses to your LMS.

Note: If your LMS is SAP SuccessFactors, your courses will remain in the Pending tab—and will not appear for import—until the next time the OCN APM runs. Once it runs, they will move to the History tab.
