Currently my business license settings only allow me to schedule a meeting for a defaught of 2 days. Even though my lengthier courses are up to 5 days or even 7 days, every time I schedule a course it auto defaults to 2 days long even though I put a longer end date on the calendar. Am I doing something wrong or is there a setting that needs to be changed?

Hi @Larry6  
Thanks for reaching out to us and welcome to the Zoom Developer Forum.  
Are you creating your meetings via API? Can you share more details about the setup?

If you are not doing this programmatically, I would suggest you post this question in the Zoom Community forum here:
