    Hi,
    I am creating 2 membership sites and two sequentially-delivered courses - and have a few Qs (OK - this turned out to be more than a few...).

    1. I have 1ShoppingCart - when a person stops paying for their subscription, can 1SC automatically stop delivery of content via aMember? Or do we have to log into aMember and unsubscribe/deactivate them manually?

    2. I plan to have two different membership sites on the same URL, as well as two courses that I plan to deliver using sequential content delivery (1 module a week). If all of these live in different folders/sections of the same URL (as in www.courses.com/course1 and www.courses.com/course2, do these require separate licenses? (I've read many posts with various answers and explanations on this one.)

    3. Do you offer discounts for add'l licenses? Or an unlimited use license?

    4. Can I set the sequential content delivery to always start on the 1st day of the month, for example? It looks like there is a 'Fixed subscription start date' field that might work for this. I'd like to offer the courses so that they all start on the first week of a given month, etc., so I can also offer teleseminar support and people in the current course will all be on the same module each month. Could I set this up to work that way (instead of beginning on the start date - I'll be using the Perpetual Launch model.)

    5. When course members move from Module 1 to 2, etc., can we set it up so that they still have access to Module 1 (previous modules)?

    6. Can we set it up so that people who sign up on, say, July 4th get access to some 'evergreen' content and then only the content made available from their subscription date forward (not everything that's ever been posted)?

    7. Can we set expiration dates for sequential content in our subscription sites, so that people have access to specified new content for say, 3 months, and then it goes away for them (so they can't join and download years' worth of content and unsubscribe). Can some content be there forever and some only for a specified time?

    Whew! Lots of questions - and I appreciate the info.

    amember will expire the account when the payment isnt made.

    You can put multiple versions of amember on the same domain, using the same license. The license is domain specific.

    The incremental content plugin releases content depending on when the member joined, not a specific day of the month.

    yes, you give them lifetime access in the ICP setting for the module. Lifetime means as long as the membership is active.

    Think this would require customization. Its generally not month based, but time as a member based.

    Yes.
