SkieWhat is a seat in Skie and what does it cover?
A seat is the licence unit in Skie: one enrolled device for one student or user. Licences are seat-based, with one device per seat, and the Skie owner grants seats to an organisation. Pricing is on request. A seat covers the management of that device: rules, location, alerts and lost-device tools.
Skie is software, and customers use devices they already own or buy their own. What they pay for is management of those devices, counted in seats. One seat is one device, tied to one student or user.
The count is simple on purpose. If you have 200 students with a tablet each, you need 200 seats. A tablet that is replaced keeps the student and frees the old seat, so the number does not creep up with repairs. A device that is reset and returns is recognised by its IMEI or serial number and does not take a second seat.
The Skie owner grants seats to your organisation. The organisation admin cannot add them directly, and the provisioning flow checks the model and the licence before a device is enrolled. If there are no free seats, enrolment pauses until more are granted.
We do not quote prices here. The team gives a quote based on seats and the support you want, and rollout help is available if you want it. Terms such as a grace period after expiry can be set per licence.
Compared with other MDM tools, which often charge per device per month with their own tiers, the model is intentionally plain. Read the pricing guide on the blog for a general view of how MDM pricing is structured across vendors.
Practical tip: count seats against students, not tablets in the cupboard. Spare devices that are not enrolled do not use a seat.
