FG License Questions

Trying to understand Std/Ultimate licensing. I thought I saw a post with all the combinations on the forum, but cannot find it.

Our group is looking to purchase all the licenses we need.

We have 4 players and one DM. Everyone has (will have) a Std license, I have an Ultimate license. I am NOT the DM, she will have a Std license.

I have already purchased the DLC.

Can I "share" the DLC that I've purchased, even though I am not the DM? Or will our DM and/or group need to purchase the DLC under her FG Website account?

Probably going to be FGU, but we might start the game on FGC.

Thanks!

No, you won't be able to share out your materials unless you are the host/DM for that game. So the DM would need to purchase the materials you are trying to run. If you rotate DM duties, then yes, your group may have to purchase additional materials.

A GM/Host with a standard license needs all players to either have a standard or ultimate license.

Players can not share their content with other players or the GM. But, GMs can chose if a player can access the player's content in the GM's campaign. GM's can share content with all players while those players are connected to their campaign.
So yes, she will need to have the content/DLC that the group all wants to share.

Good Day JSF

Only the DM can share their downloaded content, so in your case, whoever is going to be the DM will need to purchase or have gifted any desired download content.
The Ultimate license only makes it so the DM can have Demo players connect. If the DM gets the Ultimate license the other players can use the Demo (Free) version and can help purchase more download content for them.

Thanks all. That was what I expected, but just wanted to clarify.

Partial workaround... you start a character creation session and all players connect to you. You share all your content, everyone creates their PCs. You export all the PCs and send them to the person who is DMing.
