Licenses for part time workers?

Hello,
Assuming a company needs Onshape licenses for part time workers (e.g. students during their practical term, interns or freelancer). What would be a good way to allow these people to work on private documents? Assuming a student works at the company for 6 months and then leaves, the other 6 months of the subscription would be lost?

My understanding is that you can re-assign licenses easily. So, if you have an intern for six months, and then a different intern for the next six months, its easy to move the license from one user to the next one.
However, I don't think there are options for changing the number of subscriptions on a month-by-month basis. I'm sure Onshape would be willing to add more anytime you need it, but dropping the number of users back down would be the problem.

Understood, thank you!
I assume that for Standard licenses this doesn't work, but for Professional subscriptions, since they "create a company"?
Yea, you have so many 'seats' that you pay for with the company. Then you just assign each seat to thier login. It only takes a few seconds.
But changing the number of seats requires changing your billing plan and then you start getting into billing cycles and partial payments until the cycles catch up.
Best to just buy what you think you may need and keep the subscription active
