## 1.5 Subscription Keys & Simulation Numbers

- A **Subscription Key** is a 32-digit number that allows instructors and students to create a personal account on the GoVenture system. Your students may or may not need Subscription Keys, depending on the type of instructor account that you have.

- A **Simulation Number** is one or more numbers generated by GoVenture when you create a Simulation Competition. The Simulation Number enables players to join the specific Simulation Competition that you are managing.
