# Why Is No Launch Button Showing for My Lab?

There can be several reason why a launch button has not showed up for your labs or other Course Activities.

If you do not have a launch button on your labs in a Class, please check the following:

- **Has your class date and time past?** Launch buttons do not appear until the scheduled class start time.
- **Is there a End User License Agreement (EULA) in place for the class or course, and have you agreed to it?** License Agreements can control access to labs, all other course activities, and virtual classrooms. If a License Agreement is unchecked, it can prevent the launch buttons to appear. Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC) labs, have a Microsoft License Agreement which must be agreed to for lab launch buttons to show. See if you have agreed by looking in the basic information section of your class page.
- **Has your lab access expired?** Many classes continue to allow access to labs after a class is over, this is referred to as post-class lab access. Normally, the access is set to 180 days after the end date of the class, but it can vary between no access at all to any number of days after a class is finished. When you have post-class lab access, the date your access expires is listed on your Class Enrollment page.

*The Activities section on your enrollment displays when your access to launch the course's labs ends.*

- **Is there a limitation on the number of times you can launch a lab?** Most labs have unlimited launches available, however, some have limits placed on the number of times a lab can be launched. ![Attempt limit reached](https://cdn.document360.io/a298db04-a0fe-47e0-bfe3-c52d6f9d7c8c/Images/Documentation/attempt-limit-reached.png)

*This lab shows that all lab launches have been used and there are no more lab launches available.*

If none of the above applies please reach out to your training Organization.

Bundles together content to then be set up for training through classes, subscriptions, and course assignments. Courses can include labs, videos, SCORM, LTI, external links, assessments, and documents. Courses must be assigned to a Content Provider and a Publishing Group to be available to set up for training.

Activities are configured in the instructions editor and represented in the lab instructions by a replacement token. Activities fall into two broad categories: Questions and Automated.

- Questions are multiple choice or short answer questions.
- Automated Activities interact with the lab environment (Virtual Machine/Container/Cloud Platform).

A class is a scheduled instructor-led event with a start and end time/date. Typically, these include lectures and hands on activities such as labs.

End user license agreements (EULA) can be created in the TMS and aligned with a publishing group to require acceptance of the agreement before access is given to specified course activities, like labs, SCORM, or a virtual classroom.

An enrollment is the student registration for a class. Enrollments have multiple statuses, but only the Enrollment Status of Enrolled gives a student access to class. Within the enrollment the student will access the labs and activities and if set up digital courseware and virtual classroom for their class.

An organization is assigned to each entity in the TMS, such as, users, classes, subscriptions, and courses. The organization is a basis to determine access given based on roles within the organization and management over the organization.
