With each deployment you can specify if you want to enforce licensing restrictions. The options are to restrict by max number of users, max numbers of courses consumed or by end date.

Once again you can turn these on or off for each deployment.

This is the million dollar question when dealing with SCORM courses. Course Container is very flexible in how it accepts course content packages, and how it creates the resulting package you load into your or your customer's LMS. As long as your content is in a package that supports SCORM 1.2 then Course Container will take care of the rest.

Within Course Container there is a "Preview" feature for each content item uploaded. The preview function will display the content if it was in the correct format and were no errors during the upload. However if the course was not created/developed correctly then the course should be updated in it's authoring environment and a new version should be uploaded. We have complete logs of all the SCORM CMI data that is passed to the LMS so we can assist troubleshooting  the exact location where the course is having an issue.

Absolutely, it is calculated each time a user goes to launch a course so if you increase/decrease the number of seats or the expiration date that will be factored in the next time someone launches a course.
