Assigning a licence to courses and learning resources
Assigning a license to a course or learning content is already possible during the creation of the resource and follows the same process as Lizenzvergabe an einem Dokument. Eine nachträgliche Vergabe oder Änderungen an der getroffenen Zuordnung sind in den Kurseinstellungen über die Funktion Titel und Beschreibung ändern verfügbar.
Displaying the licence
Licencing information can be found in the more course or learning resource information area. Additionally, licences can also be displayed in a separate column in the table view.
Lizenzen werden bei den Informationen zum Kurs oder Lerninhalt angezeigt. Zusätzlich können sie in Tabellenansichten als Spalte eingeblendet werden.

Removing the licence
Assigned licences can be easily removed and replaced with others. To do this, switch to the dialogue in which the licence was assigned. For documents, this view can be opened by using the Edit button. Then click on the trash icon next to the currently used licence. This will remove the assigned licence, and a new assignment can be made.
