I'm so impressed with CiviCRM, I'm setting it up for three different organizations at the same time. (My own non-profit as well as two professional associations I sit on the boards of... the head spins...)

Anyway, one of them has a radically different membership structure and I'm having trouble figuring out how to proceed. Currently, we offer several levels of individual membership, but we also offer small and large institution memberships, each with a particular number of sub-memberships. In other words, if you sign up for a small institutional membership, there can be up to four individuals on that membership. Is there a way to handle that kind of situation directly through the software instead of requiring manual input of the sub-members? (ie. the contact responsible for the organization can *only* create and associate up to the maximum number of sub-memberships...)

Fair enough... Or maybe we'll reconsider what we mean by institutional memberships. IN this case, adjusting our membership structure to CiviCRM might be the smart thing.
