SkieWhat is the daily licence sweep in Skie?
The daily licence sweep is a job that runs once a day and checks the licence state of every organisation. It updates who is current, who is approaching expiry and who has expired, so notices and enrolment limits stay accurate without anybody running a manual check.
A licence is a date and a seat count. Something has to compare that date with today and decide what to show. The sweep is that something.
Once a day it goes through the organisations, works out each licence's state, and updates the notices on devices and dashboards. It applies the effect on new enrolments: a current licence allows them, an expired one pauses them, with any configured grace period taken into account. Timing uses a trusted reference, so a wrong date on a single device cannot affect it.
Because it is daily, changes show up within a day. If your licence is renewed or extended, the state corrects when it next runs. If you need a licence state to be updated sooner than that, contact the team.
The sweep does not touch the rules on devices. Expiry does not wipe or loosen anything on enrolled devices, so students are not affected by the job running. What changes is the notice and the ability to add devices.
For admins, the practical effect is the clarity of the notices. You do not need to log in on the exact day of expiry to find out, because the dashboard has been showing the state for some time.
Practical tip: renew before the notice period starts. A licence extended in good time never shows an expiry notice to students.
