SkieHow many seats does a provisioning run use?
One. A successful provisioning run enrols one device for one student and uses one seat. Skie licences are seat based with one device per seat. A failed run does not keep a seat, and a reset of the same device does not take a second one. A seat is freed when a device is replaced or lost.
A seat is one enrolled device for one student. When a provisioning run succeeds, that device takes one seat from your organisation's allowance. There is no extra seat for the Provision app, the laptop or the token. The model and licence checks run before the install, so you find out about a shortage before anything is changed on the tablet.
A run that fails does not hold a seat. If it stops at the token, the model or the Google account, nothing is enrolled, so nothing is counted. You fix the cause and start again with a new token.
A reset of a device Skie already knows does not take a second seat, because it is recognised by IMEI or serial. A student who leaves frees a seat when the device is reassigned or removed. A replaced device frees the old seat and uses the new one, so a broken tablet costs no extra. A device that is marked lost also frees its seat.
If you run out, the licence check stops new runs. Existing devices keep enforcing their rules. The owner grants more seats and expiry notices appear on devices and dashboards before a licence ends. When a licence expires the rules stay on the devices, and new enrolments pause. Pricing is on request, and Skie does not quote it in this knowledge base.
Practical tip: count students, not tablets in boxes, when you request seats, and ask for a few spare for replacements and mid-year admissions. See identity recognition and pricing models.
