                 If you want to change your account from a private customer to a company on PartnerVine, here&#039;s how you do it:&amp;nbsp; 
 
 On  PartnerVine&#039;s home page , click on SIGN IN.&amp;nbsp;  
 Sign in with your current email and password.  
 Click on the account button in the upper right hand corner of the screen.&amp;nbsp;  
 Go to Address in the menu.  
 Click on &quot;Change&quot; on the Address page.&amp;nbsp;  
 Change &quot;Private customer&quot; to &quot;Company&quot;.  
 Type in your company name and press &quot;Save address&quot;. In the UK and EU, you&#039;ll be asked for your VAT number (click  here  for more information). In Switzerland, you&#039;ll be asked for your business identification number or UID (click  here  for more information).  
 You&#039;re now registered as a company.  
 
    Note for the UK and EU  
 We ask for your VAT number to help us with our records. You&#039;re not required to have a validated VAT number for a purchase. 
 
 On the change address page, there is a field for your VAT number below the field for your company name. Input your VAT number there.&amp;nbsp;  
 Click &quot;Save address&quot;. The next page will tell you if your VAT has been validated.  
 
    Note for Switzerland  
 In Switzerland, your company&#039;s VAT number is the same as your company&#039;s business identification number (&quot;UID&quot;) with the addition of &quot;MWST&quot; at the end. We ask for your UID for  PwC&#039;s client screening . If you&#039;re not buying PwC products, you don&#039;t need to give us your UID. 
 
 On the change address page, when you put in your company&#039;s name, PartnerVine will automatically search for your company&#039;s UID.  &amp;nbsp; 
 Click on your company&#039;s UID, which will then show up in the VAT field.&amp;nbsp;  
 After you click &quot;Save address&quot;, a note will tell you if the UID number for your company has been validated.&amp;nbsp;

                                            To test SMCR Academy, we set up an LMS, here&#039;s what we did
                                        ]]>
            </summary>
            <content type="html">
                <![CDATA[
                    SMCR Academy  &amp;nbsp;is a set of 14  SCORM  files that you need to set up on your own  Learning Management System (LMS) . We don&#039;t recommend you purchase&amp;nbsp; SMCR Academy &amp;nbsp;unless you have your own SCORM-compliant LMS and know how to use it.  
 To test&amp;nbsp; SMCR Academy , we set up a Learning Management System (LMS) ourselves to make sure everything works. We thought we would explain what we did here in case it helps. 
 We had to change two default settings in the standard set-up of our LMS to run&amp;nbsp; SMCR Academy . We mention them here because you may find them helpful.&amp;nbsp; 
 
 The maximum file size that can be uploaded to your LMS should be at least 200 MB.&amp;nbsp; 
 The maximum execution time for your LMS should be at least 160 seconds. 
 
 Just to be clear, these are settings that would be part of your LMS. Your LMS is third-party software that PartnerVine doesn&#039;t control. As a practical matter, we&#039;d recommend uploading the files to your LMS first and seeing if they work, because the settings on your LMS may be different than our default settings.&amp;nbsp; 
  For those of you who are developers, here&#039;s what we did. &amp;nbsp;We set up Moodle as our LMS. We tested it on a local production environment, using MAMP on a Mac. We didn&#039;t set up a cloud version of Moodle. We used Moodle as our LMS because the sandbox version is free and the underlying code is open source. Moodle accepts SCORM files but can&#039;t create them, so we wouldn&#039;t call it a truly SCORM-compliant LMS. It did work for checking if SMCR Academy works though. 
 In Moodle, you can check the maximum file size that can be uploaded under Dashboard/Site administration/Security/Site security settings, but you have to change the file size by altering the PHP settings in the php.ini file for post_max_size and upload_max_size in MAMP. 
 In terms of the maximum execution time, when we tried to upload four of the SMCR Academy files, the execution time lasted more than the default setting of 30 seconds in Moodle and the upload led to a link to a blank page. The way we figured out that we needed to make the maximum execution time longer was by turning on &quot;Extra Moodle debug messages for developers&quot; under Debugging in Dashboard/Site administration/Development. After turning on the debug messages, we got the following message error: &quot;Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/moodle/lib/filestorage/zip_archive.php on line 254&quot;. When we got that message, we knew to change the maximum execution time in the php.ini folder. It worked. Here&#039;s a&amp;nbsp; note on how to find the maximum execution time setting in Moodle . 
 So you know, the four SMCR Academy files that took more than 30 seconds to upload were:&amp;nbsp; 
 
 IR Marketing Fund Distribution Rules – Case Study Assessment 
 SMCR Conduct Rules for Portfolio Managers &amp;amp; Analysts - Case Study Assessment 
 SMCR Conduct Rules for Traders - Case Study Assessment 
 Senior Management Training for SMCR 
 
 The Case Study Assessment files are noticably larger than the other files in&amp;nbsp; SMCR Academy . 
  Further Resources  
 Here&#039;s a&amp;nbsp; video &amp;nbsp;on installing Moodle as a sandbox.&amp;nbsp; 
 Here&#039;s Moodle documentation on&amp;nbsp; changing the file size in Moodle .&amp;nbsp; 
 Here&#039;s a&amp;nbsp; note on how to find the maximum execution time setting in Moodle .&amp;nbsp;

                 SCORM is a set of technical standards that governs how online learning content and  Learning Management Systems  (LMSs) communicate with each other. SCORM allows content authors to distribute their content to a variety of LMSs, and for LMSs to handle content from a variety of sources. SCORM stands for Shareable Content Object Reference Model.

                 A Learning Management System (LMS) is software that helps create, manage and deliver e-learning courses.  SMCR Academy  won&#039;t work without an LMS that is compliant with  SCORM . An LMS has an admin interface for those that manage an e-learning course and a user interface for employees to take the course. A good LMS will also serve as a record of compliance for SMCR training.&amp;nbsp;

                 PartnerVine has five payment currencies: US dollars ($), euros (€), pounds sterling (£), Canadian dollars (Can$) and Swiss francs (CHF). 
 If you are buying from a country where one of those currencies is your national currency, that is your payment currency on PartnerVine. If you are in a country where your currency is not a payment currency on PartnerVine, you have been assigned a payment currency based on trading volume, currency pegs or membership in the European Economic Area. Your payment currency is shown when you proceed to checkout. 
 If you would like to see product prices in a different currency, you can set a currency for reference in the main menu. Prices are based on exchange rates provided by the European Central Bank. Changing the currency you see product prices in does not change your payment currency. 
 Any conversion fees or spreads from the payment currency to your local currency are charged by your bank or card issuer. Your bank or card issuer may use a different source for exchange rates or take a rate set at a different time so there may be a difference between the price you pay in your local currency and the reference and payment prices shown on PartnerVine.

 When you&#039;re looking for a product on PartnerVine, the description in the Author&#039;s Note gives you an overview of what you&#039;re going to get. 
 You&#039;ll also note that in the Author&#039;s Note there may be user restrictions (like, for instance, access for 3 months to an automated document).

 After you&#039;ve purchased a product, you will see a link to where you can access it. You can return to the products you&#039;ve purchased when you&#039;re signed in under &quot; Your Products &quot;.&amp;nbsp;
