Do I have to upgrade?
We believe LinkedIn Learning is the best eLearning solution for developing employees, so we will be upgrading all of our customers. You will be given a window of time to select the best date for your organization to upgrade, and we'll work with you to make the transition as seamless as possible.
How will I log into my new LinkedIn Learning account?
If you are connecting your LinkedIn profile, please log in or activate LinkedIn Learning using the email address associated with your Linkedin.com account. If you do not wish to connect your LinkedIn profile, please sign up for a separate LinkedIn Learning account using the email address of your choice. Please note that this username may be different from your Lynda.com username.
Are there any changes in seat licensing policy?
The number of seat reassignments is limited to 25% of the total seats you have purchased, or 10 seat reassignments, whichever is greater. Any reassignments made on Lynda.com prior to the upgrade to LinkedIn Learning will not be counted towards this limit.
Will it cost anything to upgrade right now?
No. You will pay the same price per license that you currently pay until the end of your existing contract. Like most vendors, we review the pricing of our products from time to time. If there are any changes, they will be discussed at the time of your contract renewal.
Is my Lynda data coming along with upgrade?
Yes, all users, groups, reports, and playlists will automatically be moved to LinkedIn Learning along with all Learner history and activity. If you do not want to migrate your existing data, we can work with you to start a new LinkedIn Learning account.
What happens when I click the "Schedule Upgrade" button?
You will be taken through a simple process to select a date for your organization's upgrade. No changes will be made to your account until your scheduled upgrade date.
Do I need a LinkedIn profile to use LinkedIn Learning?
No, but we highly recommend that you connect or create a LinkedIn.com profile to receive enhanced product features and more personalized content recommendations. We take your privacy seriously, so only your basic profile information (e.g. name, job title, skills, photo) will be shared with your organization. Your organization will not have access to any private activity from your personal LinkedIn account.
Is single sign on (SSO) supported with LinkedIn Learning?
Yes, LinkedIn Learning supports SSO. Learning and IT admins will be guided through a series of simple steps to set up SSO for their organization.
Is the content on LinkedIn Learning the same as on Lynda.com?
Yes, LinkedIn Learning provides access to all of the courses from the Lynda.com library that you know and love.
Will I need to set up my groups and reassign my playlists again?
No, all assigned content and groups will be maintained once the upgrade process is complete.
How long does my learner have to activate their accounts?
The activation link automatically sent to your learners will expire after 14 days. If your learner tries to activate after 14 days, the admin will simply need to resend the invite through the user management page. Learners must activate on LinkedIn Learning within 1 year of the upgrade date for their individual learning data and history to carry over (enterprise information, e.g. assignment completion, group membership, etc. will be retained)
What is LinkedIn Learning Pro?
LinkedIn Learning Pro enables you to upload proprietary or custom videos into the LinkedIn Learning platform, in addition to accessing all the great features and benefits LinkedIn Learning already offers. Please contact your Relationship Manager for more details on this new, premium offering.
