Can we add more seats in the middle of the year?

Skie for Enterprise · Updated

Short answer

Yes. If you add, say, a hundred students mid-year, you ask for more seats and the owner grants them to your organisation, after which you can provision the new devices. The commercial terms for extra seats, such as how they are billed, come from your agreement and the Skie team.

Student numbers change. A new batch joins, a coaching institute opens another branch or a company adds a team. Skie handles that by adding seats to the organisation's licence, not by rebuilding anything. The structure of schools, branches and groups stays the same and the new group sits next to the old ones.

The sequence is simple. Agree the extra seats with the Skie team, who grant them to your organisation. Create the group, choose its policy and app list, then use the provisioning flow for the new devices. Each enrolment checks the model and the licence, so the seat count stays exact.

The licence check is also a gentle safeguard. If you are about to enrol more devices than you hold seats for, the system will stop you rather than quietly exceeding the count. That is better than discovering the gap after a hundred tablets are in hand.

How the extra seats are priced, whether they are co-termed with the current licence and when they are billed are commercial terms. They are not set out here, and they belong in your agreement.

A practical tip: ask for seats before the devices arrive, and plan the rollout by group. Keeping the new intake in its own group lets you test the policy for that batch and keep the mid-year addition tidy in the dashboard.
