LinkedIn Learning offers enterprise licenses to teams, companies, and organizations who wish to provide access to Learning videos. Some enterprise licenses may require that you sign in to Learning through your organization's network.
Important to know
LinkedIn Learning does not offer one-off, a la carte purchases of individual courses, nor does it offer individual LinkedIn Learning subscriptions. The subscription that most resembles an individual subscription is LinkedIn Premium, which offers LinkedIn Learning in addition to a suite of products and services.

If your organization didn’t renew their LinkedIn Learning SSO certification before March 25, 2020, please follow the steps for your IDP as soon as possible. The new certificate can be added as a secondary certificate. (See Related tasks section below.)
If you are unable to update your certificate, as a temporary workaround, you can send a SAML assertion to LinkedIn Learning by invoking an IdP-Initiated request.
To send a SAML assertion:
-
Navigate to https://your.adfsserver.com/adfs/ls/IdpInitiatedSignOn.aspx
-
Replace your.adfsserver.com with your server
Once you have your link, you may share it with any learners from your organization who require immediate access.
Important to know
You should use this workaround only as a short-term solution until the new certificate can be added.
If your organization didn’t renew their LinkedIn Learning SSO certification before March 25, 2020, please follow the steps for your IDP as soon as possible. The new certificate can be added as a secondary certificate. (See Related Tasks section below.)
Notes:
-
Azure AD, Okta, and OneLogin ignore the SSO certificate as long as your organization hasn't built any custom functionality to sign authentication requests.
-
IdP-initiated SAML assertions don’t check for LinkedIn Learning’s certificate, and therefore can be used to log into Learning Management and download the new metadata, if necessary.
-
The new certificate is in .pem format. If you need to convert it to a different format, you can paste the following commands into terminal. Be sure to first navigate to the location that the .pem file is stored in. For example, if you save the file to your desktop, type “cd Desktop” into terminal to navigate to the right location:
- openssl x509 -inform PEM -in samlRenewedCert2020.pem -outform DER -out samlRenewedCert2020.cer
- openssl x509 -outform der -in samlRenewedCert2020.pem -out samlRenewedCert2020.crt
-
If your account settings are Profile Required, SSO can temporarily be disabled while you work on updating the certificate. Learners should be able to access learning from their personal LinkedIn profile. Please note this is a temporary workaround, and the certificate should be updated in your IdP as soon as possible. After adding the new certificate and making a successful SP-Initiated SSO attempt, you should turn SSO back on right away.
Please reach out to your organization's LinkedIn Learning Admin, Help Desk, Learning and Development team, or Human Resources Department for more information on how to log in.
Yes, using a VPN (virtual private network) to create a secure internet connection won’t impact your ability to log into LinkedIn Learning. If you encounter issues logging in while using a VPN, please reach out to your organization's IT department.
