Manage licenses
Last updated August 5th, 2025
In general, you don’t need a license to Knox Mobile Enrollment. However, to use advanced settings, you’ll need an active Knox Suite - Enterprise Plan.
If a profile with advanced settings is assigned to a device, but there are no available license seats, you won’t be able to use the profile’s advanced settings.
View license information
The Knox Admin Portal offers a consolidated licenses page to check your available license seats in one view. You can add, manage, and delete your Knox cloud service license keys on this page.
To see the consolidated licenses page, in the Knox Admin Portal navigation pane, click Licenses. You can also navigate to this page by clicking Licenses in the Knox Mobile Enrollment navigation pane.
For more information on how to add, assign, or delete your licenses, see Manage Knox licenses.
Device status
Depending on whether you have an appropriate license, the device’s Status displays either Provisioned or Provisioned (restricted) in the Devices table:
Scenario | Outcome | Device status |
---|---|---|
Devices assigned a profile without advanced settings | Devices successfully enroll into the selected Knox services. | Provisioned |
Devices with a Knox Suite - Enterprise Plan and available license seats | Devices activate with advanced profile functionality during enrollment. | Provisioned |
Devices with:
|
The device successfully enrolls into the EMM and any other selected Knox services. Device settings are applied, but advanced profile functionality isn't available. | Provisioned (restricted) |
Remove a device from a license
Once you remove a license seat from a device, you can use it to enroll another device.
License seats are released when you:
-
Assign a different profile to the device. That is, you can assign a profile with standard settings to a device already assigned a profile with advanced settings.
-
For some EMMs, such as Knox Manage, you must unenroll your device before you can delete it.
The license seat is released if the device was enrolled only in Knox Mobile Enrollment. The seat won’t be released if the device is still enrolled in another Knox cloud service.
You can delete a license if there are no devices associated with it. For more information on how to replace, upgrade, or delete your license, see Manage Knox licenses.
