# How do I purchase a School or Individual Licence and what are the payment options?

Purchasing a **School Licence** or an **Individual Licence** is simple. Please follow the steps below to set up your subscription.

| Purchase Steps

1. **Select your Licence:** Click on the resource(s) you wish to purchase. Select either the **“School Licence”** or **"Individual Licence"** tab, then click **“Add to Cart”**.
2. **Checkout:** Proceed to the checkout. You will need to sign up for an account if you do not already have one.
3. **Payment:** A credit card payment is required at the point of purchase.
4. **Access:** Once the order is complete, go to **My Account** (top right corner) and select the **“My Subscriptions”** tab to view your active licences.

||| Payment Methods

Like other subscription models (e.g., Netflix or Disney+), **credit card is the only payment method available** for purchasing licences. You may use a school or personal credit card.

**Note:** The purchaser MUST have an account on the PLD website. If you or your school do not have one, you can [register here](https://pld-literacy.org/register/?register).

|| Licence Renewals

Licences renew annually to ensure uninterrupted access.

* **Notification:** You will receive email reminders one week and one day before the renewal date.
* **Cancellation:** You can cancel at any time prior to the renewal date to avoid the next year's charge.
* **Automatic Payments:** While the subscription is set to renew, no annual automatic payments will be deducted without prior notice, giving you time to consider your renewal.
