I want/need students to be able to access my base pro forma online. I want them to be able to work with it to figure out their own deal with its own specifics. But, I DON'T wish for them to be able to change the Base Proforma (because the following students will also start out with the same Base Pro Foma). I DO want them to be able to save the Base Pro Forma to a file they only have access to, call it whatever they want, and change their downloaded version of the Base Pro Forma as they wish.
My concern is having paid users share the pro forma with friends and enemies or selling it as if it were their own. I Don't think Sharepoint does this.
