# License Packages: Hand off license management—without handing over your dashboard

 June 27, 2025

![Changelog Graphics (17)](https://blog.skilljar.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Changelog%20Graphics%20(17).png?width=960&height=540&name=Changelog%20Graphics%20(17).png)

**Available now on Professional and Enterprise plans**, License Packages are now part of our new External Management suite; built to give your partners and customers more control without giving them access to your Skilljar dashboard.

For organizations that license training, managing them can be... a bit messy. Manual tracking, adding students one by one, using spreadsheets or clunky workarounds. License Packages solve that.

Now, [Student Managers](https://support.skilljar.com/hc/en-us/articles/35784485207955-External-Management-Student-Managers)—users without Skilljar dashboard access—can assign, track, and reassign licenses to students directly in your branded Academy. It’s a simpler, scalable way to manage paid training for external teams, while giving you full visibility and permission control from the dashboard.

**With License Packages, you can:**

- Create and allocate License Packages to specific Student Managers from the Skilljar dashboard (💡 *Pro tip!*Automate this process by using our API, Salesforce integration, and custom objects)
- Let Student Managers handle License Packages directly in your Academy, never in your dashboard. They’ll see which students are enrolled, completions, and whether each student is active in the package.

This capability makes it easier to scale training programs, give external teams the access they need, and avoid the delays and deal blockers that come from limited permissions.
