Anti-sharing system
The platform monitors access to ensure each account is used by only one person. The system combines concurrent session control, device limits, and per-lesson view counting.Session control
Configured limits
| Resource | Limit |
|---|---|
| Concurrent sessions | 3 per user |
| Registered devices | 5 per user |
| Session validity | 7 days |
| Heartbeat (activity check) | Every 5 minutes |
How it works
When you log in to the platform:Device identification
The system uniquely identifies each device using:- User Agent - Browser and version
- Platform - Operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS)
- Screen resolution - Display dimensions
- Language - Browser configuration
- Time zone - Device timezone
What happens when limits are exceeded
Session limit
If you try to access the platform with more than 3 concurrent sessions:- A message informs you that the limit has been reached
- You can see the list of active sessions
- You need to terminate an existing session to continue
Device limit
If you try to access from more than 5 different devices:- Access is blocked on the new device
- A message asks you to remove an old device
- Go to the device manager to free up space
Managing sessions and devices
You can manage your sessions and devices at any time:View active sessions
Lists all devices with an active session, including name, IP, and last activity.
Per-lesson view limits
In addition to session control, the platform allows configuring a maximum number of views per lesson.How it works
- Each lesson can have a maximum number of views (
max_views) - Each access to the lesson increments the counter
- When the limit is reached, the student sees a screen informing them that the limit has been reached
- The instructor or administrator can grant extra views
Exempt lesson types
| Lesson type | View limit |
|---|---|
| Video (recorded lesson) | Subject to the configured limit |
| Exam/Quiz | Always unlimited |
| Live class | Always unlimited |
Extra views
If you have reached the limit for a lesson, contact the instructor or administrator. They can grant additional views directly from the admin panel.Extra views are cumulative. If a lesson’s limit is 5 and you receive 3 extra, you can watch up to 8 times total.
Who is exempt
Instructors and administrators are not subject to view limits. The system automatically checks the user’s role before applying any restriction.For administrators
Active sessions panel
The administrator can monitor all active sessions on the platform:- Session list - View all connected users
- Details - Device, IP, last activity
- Count per user - How many active sessions each user has
View limit configuration
For each lesson, the administrator can:Available statistics
The limits panel displays:- Total views - Sum of all views for the lesson
- Unique viewers - How many distinct students watched
- Average per user - Total views divided by viewers
- Users with extras - How many received additional views
