# Setting Up Limited-Time Access for Your Courses

This guide shows you how to automatically grant course access for a specific period (e.g., 30 days, 90 days) from the date of purchase, after which the system will automatically revoke access. This is perfect for subscription-based content, short-term offers, or promotional packages.

### Step 1: Access Course Settings in LDT

First, navigate to the course you want to apply a time limit to.

* From your Shopify admin, go to Apps > LDT Online Courses.
* Click on Courses and select the specific course you want to set a time limit for.

### Step 2: Link the Course to a Shopify Product

This feature requires the course to be linked to a product on Shopify.

* On the course settings page, find the section titled "Auto enroll via Shopify Products".
* Click the Link product button.
* In the pop-up, find and select the product you will be using to sell access to this course.
* Important Tip: If you have different plans (e.g., a 31-day plan and a 1-year plan), you can create variants for your product (e.g., "31-Day Access" and "1-Year Access"). In this step, click on "Specific variants" and select all the relevant variants you want to link.

### Step 3: Activate and Configure the Time Limit

This is the key step where you activate and set the duration of the limited access.

* Just below the product link, you will find the "Limit time access" option. Toggle this on.
* Once enabled, an input field will appear.
* Enter the number of days you want to grant your student access. For example:
* Enter 31 for a 1-month plan.
* Enter 366 for a 1-year plan.
* Enter 91 for a 3-month plan.
* Important: If you linked multiple variants in Step 2, you CAN set different access times for each one. Make sure you enter the correct number of days corresponding to each plan.

By following these steps, you can easily control and automate the duration of your students' course access, giving you greater flexibility in your business model.
