General license information

If student-pay licenses are required for your organization, you'll be able to use the steps in this help topic to:

  • Get a temporary license — Pay for your full license at a later time while you use your temporary license
  • Pay now for my license — Use a credit or debit card, or an existing PayPal account, to complete your secure online payment and obtain your full license
  • Use a redemption code for my license — Redeem your 16-character alphanumeric redemption code to obtain your full license (Example — QZ79-12UF-R38J-W63P)

When you access your class inside of the Möbius platform and you don't already have a license, you'll be prompted automatically to complete one of these steps.

NOTE: When paying for your license (not using the temporary or redemption code options), you'll use the PayPal system to pay online securely, with the available payment methods being either an existing PayPal account or a debit or credit card without an existing PayPal account.

TIP: If you're returning to this page to see how to complete your payment to turn your temporary license into a full Möbius license, check out the Complete payment for my temporary license section of this help topic.

Access Möbius licensing

Your instructor will provide you with either a Class Link URL (Example — https://springfieldu.mobius.cloud/class/UUYYT) or a Möbius link within your Learning Management System (LMS) (Example — Blackboard®, Brightspace®, Canvas™, Moodle™, etc.) to enroll and access your Möbius class or content.

Once you've used the provided Class Link or LMS link, you'll land on the User License Required page that prompts you to obtain a Möbius license.

Once you follow these steps to obtain a Möbius license, you'll then have full access to your class and content.

NOTE: You might need to create a Möbius account before you can log in. Check out Create an account. However, users accessing Möbius through a Learning Management System (LMS) won't ever need to create a Möbius account.

To initiate your licensing purchase:

  1. After logging into Möbius and selecting a class or content that requires a Möbius license, you'll land on a notification page where you can then make a selection to get a temporary license, pay now, or use a code:

A blue banner is shown on the User License Required page on top of the licensing options options for Intro to Calculus.

NOTE: Depending on your organization, you might not have all three license purchasing options available (Example — you might only see the Pay now option).

  • Click temporary license to receive temporary access to Möbius
    • Then check out the Get a temporary license section of this help topic to purchase your full license at a later date

The temporary license option is a clickable link.

  • Click Pay now to use PayPal (with or without a PayPal account) to purchase your full Möbius license now

The pay now option is highlighted on the user license required page.

  • Click Redeem code to redeem your 16-character alphanumeric code (Example — QZ79-12UF-R38J-W63P) to purchase your full Möbius license now

The Redeem code option is highlighted on the user license required page.

Get a temporary license

Choosing to use a temporary license reveals the expiry date and payment completion information for the temporary Möbius license that you're about to acquire.

A message appears stating the expiry date, how to complete payment, and that work won't be lost with license expiry.

NOTE: Choosing to use a temporary license means that you're choosing to pay at a later time for your full license. The length of time that your temporary license is active for depends on your organization. You can then choose to pay for your full license at anytime during your active temporary license period or after it expires.

IMPORTANT: If your temporary Möbius license expires before you've gotten a chance to complete the payment, don't worry! All of your work that you completed with your temporary license will be saved and you can return to it once you've completed your payment.

To continue with getting a temporary license:

  1. Double check the email address that's listed in the Email field.

The email field is above the other options and Pay later buttons.
