Summary:
CE rules aren't one-size-fits-all. They vary by license, state, and renewal cycle. Our Does This Apply to My License? feature evaluates all of your tracking rules and requirements to show how a course will apply to each of your licenses. You’ll receive a clear breakdown of which requirements the course fulfills—and if it doesn’t apply, we’ll flag the reason so there are no surprises.
Important Access Requirements
To use the Does This Apply to My License? feature, you must be logged in. This allows the system to identify which licenses you are actively tracking and run accurate calculations.
Please note: This is an upgraded feature. If you are not currently upgraded, don't worry, we gotcha. Click here to login and upgrade.
The feature will only evaluate licenses that are included in your upgraded plan.

Conferences & Multi-Course Events
If the event is a conference, the Does This Apply to My License? feature must be reviewed at the individual course level.
Because conferences are made up of multiple sessions—each with its own topic, delivery method, and CE rules—you’ll need to open the details for each individual course within the conference to see whether it applies to your license.

- Click View detail for each course
The evaluation does not run at the conference level—only at the individual course level.
How the Evaluation Works
When you click Does This Apply to My License?, the system runs calculations against every license you currently hold.
-
The more licenses you have, the longer the calculation may take.
-
Once complete, you’ll see a breakdown for each license.
Understanding the Results
For every license, the system will tell you:
-
Delivery Method Classification
Whether the course counts as Live or Self-Study
Note: Regulatory agencies define delivery methods differently. For example, some states classify virtual webinars as self-study.
-
Renewal Eligibility
Whether the course applies toward your renewal requirements.
-
Requirement Group
Which CE requirement group the course satisfies.
-
Flags & Limitations
Any reasons why some or all hours may not apply.

About CE Hour Allocation & Flags
All CE hours are allocated based on earn date.
If you see a “No” result with a flag (such as:
-
Self-study hour limits reached
-
Maximum hours from a provider
-
Course type limits
This does not always mean the course will never count.
It simply means that, based on your current CE order, the system cannot apply those hours.
A future feature will allow you to reorder earned CE hours, letting you prioritize this course over earlier CE.
Please note that reallocating hours may cause other earned CE to be disqualified.

How State-Specific Courses Are Evaluated
A state-specific course is identified by a state-specific course topic (for example, Texas Child Abuse), rather than a general subject matter topic.
Platform Changes in CE Zoom V2
-
In the Legacy platform, a course could have multiple topics.
-
In CE Zoom V2, each course has one primary topic.
-
State-specific topics are now associated with their generic counterparts behind the scenes.
Current Limitation (Temporary)
At this time, trackers that do not explicitly require the state-specific topic may display “No”, because the system is currently looking only for the exact state-specific match.
🚧 Automation Coming Summer 2026
Once released, the platform will automatically recognize and apply associated generic topics.
How to Interpret State-Specific Results (For Now)
If you see a “No” result for a state-specific course:
-
Review the generic portion of the course topic
-
Check your tracker to see where that generic topic applies
Example
-
Course: Texas Child Abuse
-
Your License: Does not require Texas-specific content
-
✔️ The course should apply under Child Abuse
-
-
Your License: Requires NY Child Abuse
-
❌ The course will not apply, as the state does not match
-
If your license explicitly requires a state-specific course, the course must be an exact match to count.
