Player Limit for Sharing Compendium across Games

The current player limit is 15 players per instance of a game with 5 slots for games to share instances. This seems like plenty to most people; However, I GM professionally and found it easier to consolidate all of my players into one game in order to not have to constantly move things over using the transmogrifier. I currently have 26 players on my singular instance of my game and I am not using the other slots. I was hoping that there might be some consideration of players sharing a compendium be a number total across all games rather than assigned to each slot or some mechanic where I can forfeit slots to transfer the amount of players to another game slot. I understand that this is probably an infinitesimally small problem in the larger community of roll20, but as it is none of my players are able to access the compendiums I purchased for their and my benefit. Having this resolved in some way would greatly improve myself and my players' experience. I know I e-mailed about this awhile back, but I was hoping to get support from other GMs that might also have the same issue. 

Maybe a good middle ground would be having R20 subscribers able to access the compendium without it impacting the count, or preferably having a lower tier "player" subscription that allows access to the compendium without detracting from the GM maximum player limit. While it is understandable that protections need to be put in so a single account cannot provide book access to an infinite number of secondary accounts, a middle ground would be nice.

I guess I forgot I owned the compendium in question, but still do not have access to it through the GM's game, which would be another, and seemingly simple, way of addressing the issue. If the players own the compendium, do not count it against the games shared amount, and do not prevent accessing it via that game.

I think these are both good suggestions, just to clarify though I don't want to give access to an infinite number of secondary accounts the number of accounts that I would be able to share with would not change just the distribution. Currently the system is set up for 15 players per game with 5 game slots which equals 75 total players that a GM can share various compendiums with across games. My proposal is that the total stay the same, but the limitation of 15 players per game be lifted in lieu of a total count of 75 across 5 game slots or however many game slots. My issue is that since I have consolidated all of my players into one game, I have exceeded the single game count of 15 but not the overall game count of 75. So I am not changing anything in the way of how many people are getting access to the compendiums total, so the issue about licensing is no different.
