SkieWhat happens to school tablets if our Skie licence expires?
Rules already on the tablets keep working, new enrolments pause, and expiry notices show on devices and dashboards beforehand. Licences are seat based, one device per seat, and a daily licence sweep checks them. Renew before the date to avoid any gap in provisioning. Pricing is on request.
A licence lapse should not be a surprise, and it should not leave students with an open tablet on the first morning. Skie is built so that the notices come first and the rules stay in place.
Licences are seat based: one device per seat. The Skie owner grants seats to an organisation, and a daily sweep checks status. As expiry approaches, notices appear on the devices and on the dashboards, so staff see it whether or not they are looking at billing.
If the date passes, rules already stored on the tablets keep working and new enrolments pause. That means you cannot provision new tablets or take on a new batch until the licence is renewed. Existing students carry on with the policy they have.
Seats can free up in normal use. A replacement frees the old seat, and a reset device is recognised by IMEI or serial so it does not take a second one. If you end a programme, Remove Skie turns off every protection, shows every app again and releases the device.
Skie can also freeze an organisation to block new provisioning, which is a control the owner uses, for example if something unusual is happening. Freezing does not take rules off devices.
Terms, renewal dates and what happens beyond the date belong in your agreement, so read that and ask your Skie contact. This entry describes how the product behaves and does not replace it.
A practical tip: set a calendar reminder at least a month before term starts. The worst time to find an expired licence is the week you are provisioning two hundred new tablets.
