Q: Ok Course creation is new to me but I have questions.
I am creating a course for corporations to have their HR take one course, their Mgt. take another, and their employees take a diff one. What do I need to purchase on AppSumo to have unlimited people taking courses and unlimited courses? The corporation would be paying me directly so I'd need to be able to give them access to courses without paying - how would I do this also? Thank you!

I'm glad to hear about your use case, and that you're considering using Forento for your business.
There is no limit to how many students or courses you can have on your platform, for any of our plans. I'd suggest getting Tier 2, Start 1. It has the most features and at a very good price.
Either, you could have the courses published as free products. Or, you could publish the products with a placeholder price only to protect them from outside visitors. And, manually assign access to the customers who belong to the corporations that have already paid you. For this, however, you would need the Zero Commission Addon.
Feel free to reach out through the live chat if you have any other questions, or would like assistance getting your platform set up.

in the end, is it necessary to pay 19 USD per month to FORENTO (that is the Zero Commission Addon) to be able to give these courses “free” to your customers?
Only if you're publishing the courses as paid products, behind a paywall. If you publish the courses for free, they'll be accessible to anyone who signs up for your platform, you won't need the addon.
