 * Is it possible to tie course time period to the date a student enrolled?
    I can
   see that I can control course start and end dates, but that is painting with 
   a broad brush. For example: Course Start 1/1/19 Course End 7/18/19
 * A student enrolls on 1/1/19, and can view the course until 7/1/18. Basically 
   this student has access to the course for 6 months.
 * However a student who enrolls on 6/1/19 effectively has access to the course 
   for 1 month.
 * I know I can control the enrollment date, and make the course end 6 moths after
   that. The would effectively give the 1/1/19 student a year of access in this 
   scenario. The 6/1/19 would have 7 months of access.
 * I’d like to give my students access to the course for 3 or 6 months after the
   course start, or their enrollment date, whichever comes SECOND.
 * I have reviewed the drip settings on the lessons. That doesn’t really address
   this question.
 * Is there a way for me to do this that I am overlooking?

 * We don’t have this setup to work via the “Course Dates” settings but you could
   work around this by adding an access plan with access limited to 6 months (or
   whatever period you want). This will, essentially, do the same thing because 
   the student will be *removed* from the course after the defined period of time.
 * Will that help?

 * That looks like a great way to handle it from what I can tell from the tutorial
   on access plans.
    However, I suspect I’m running into another limitation when
   using WooCommerce with Lifter, since I don’t see access plans as an option in
   my courses. Under product options I can only select the Woo product the course
   is associated with, and define the sort order.

 * LifterLMS WooCommerce 2.0 is currently in beta and adds access plan functionality(
   very specifically the ability to expire purchases made through WooCommerce using
   this LifterLMS native feature).
 * So you’re correct… there’s a limitation today but in the next few weeks we hope
   to move the beta to the stable version and open up this possibility for you.
 * The beta is pretty stable but it’s missing migration features to help users with
   existing sites transition to the new structure… Hopefully you can make due for
   the meantime.
 * Sorry…
