Subscriber Plan A plan that determines the content that a subscriber can access and download. Subscriber Accounts are assigned to Subscriber Plans. A Subscriber Plan is mapped to selected categories in the Vending Manager. The content in the selected categories is made available to plan members.

Subscriber Plan by nesting plans. This allows you to create a hierarchy of

Subscriber Plans.
