SkieWhere do licence expiry notices appear in Skie?
Expiry notices appear on the devices and on the dashboards, so both the people using the tablets and the admins see them. This gives early, visible warning before a licence ends. The notices are meant to prompt renewal, not to switch protections off.
A renewal that nobody noticed is a poor reason to have a problem. Skie shows the notice in two places so that someone sees it.
On the dashboard, admins see the licence state and the approaching end date. This is the place for the organisation admin and school admins, who decide about renewal. On the device, a notice tells the user that the licence is ending. It is a signal to talk to the admin, not an invitation to change anything. It does not stop the device from working or lift any restriction.
The state behind the notices is updated by the daily licence sweep, so they stay current without anyone running a check. After expiry, enrolled devices keep their rules while new enrolments pause, and a grace period can apply if one is configured for your licence.
Notices on the device are visible to students. If you prefer to brief them, send a note to staff and families saying what the message means and that renewal is in hand.
Email alerts are not available yet, so rely on the dashboard and on your own calendar. The team is working on more notification options, with no dates.
Practical tip: assign a named person to check the licence status when they open the dashboard at the start of each month.
