Allow inventory to be linked to multiple licenses
We would like inventory to be linked to multiple licenses. Some resources are licensed with two entities...the content provider and the access provider. An example of this is APA. If we choose to have our APA content hosted by another provider (which is an option), we must have a license with both APA (content provider) and the access provider.
Currently, we need to choose only one license to link the inventory to. Which one do we choose?

Dear Community,
Thank you for submitting this idea.
Per Alma module it is possible to link one license for a portfolio / collection.
Changing this module is complicated and raises questions such as what to display in discovery and more.
We will not be doing this for now.
Thanks,
Tamar Fuches
Alma product manager

On a similar note, our library serves two institutions so we have two separate licenses for some collections. We use the same collection and have two groups for proxy. I would like to be able to include the licenses we have purchased for the collection.
