PLD’s School Licences; Full School Access to High-Demand Programs
Rather than purchasing multiple copies of the same program, a Whole School Licence provides full school access to specific programs for an annual fee. First schools need to identify the high-demand programs required and then register and pay for the Whole School Licences using the steps outlined below.
The Whole School Licences can be accessed on any device (i.e. desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones) and are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. They are priced for small, medium and large-sized schools.

Purchasing a PLD Whole School Licence offers several advantages:
Cost-Effective:
- Rather than purchasing multiple copies of the same high-demand programs, a School Licence provides the whole school staff access.
Digital Format:
- The licenced programs are provided in popular digital (or PDF formats). This enables pages to be printed, displayed on IWBs or screens and also used within PowerPoints (as long as Copyright terms of use are followed). Read more on this below.
Convenient and Accessible:
- Staff have access to a wide range of teaching resources and programs, regardless of their location or device.
- Resources are stored in one secure location, accessible via a login on the PLD website. This centralised storage eliminates the risk of books being lost, damaged or stolen.
- School Licences eliminate the need for staff borrowing programs.
Automatic Updates
- Schools NEVER need to update programs. The School Licences are always the most current version available.
The cost of a PLD Whole School Licence depends on the specific high-demand program(s) your school selects. Some School Licences are for individual programs, and others are for bundles (or a range of programs).
In addition, the cost of a School Licence depends on the size of your school. PLD’s Whole School Licence platform is tailored to the size of your school, based on the number of enrolled students. Licences are available in a range of options, from Extra Small (fewer than 49 students) to Large (350+ students). The sliding scale for purchasing options makes a PLD Whole School Licence a cost-effective solution for schools of any size.
