Provision licenses

Question 1

Provisioning annual licenses

Answer 1

Chrome Enterprise Upgrade and Kiosk & Signage Upgrade

Bought per order term and can be renewed when the term ends.
    I got upgrades using the Google Admin console—Add your billing information to your upgrade in the Admin console to automatically renew upgrades at the end of each term. If you opt out of automatic renewal or don’t add your billing information, you’ll have to manually renew upgrades when the term ends.
    I have upgrades with an authorized partner—When the term ends, you need to manually renew upgrades from your authorized partner.
Currently, there is no flexible plan available.
You can unenroll a device and transfer the upgrade to another device (of any model) in the same domain.
You can't transfer an upgrade to a device in another organization account.
If you purchase additional upgrades mid-term, the cost is prorated and the new upgrade expires at the same time as your original order.

Question 2

Provisioning perpetual licenses

Answer 2

You can purchase ChromeOS devices bundled with Chrome Enterprise Upgrade or Chrome Education Upgrade. Each bundled device has an integrated perpetual upgrade that covers the life of the device.

If you have standalone ChromeOS devices, you need to purchase a standalone upgrade for each device that you want to manage.

Question 3

Provisioning Chrome non-profit licenses

Question 4

CBE (Chromebook Enterprise/Chrome Browser Enterprise)

Answer 4

Perpetual license:
You can purchase bundled devices and order standalone upgrades, such as Chrome Enterprise Upgrade or Chrome Education Upgrade, through an authorized partner.

For standalone Chrome Enterprise Upgrade and Kiosk & Signage Upgrade, you can use the Admin console to subscribe and purchase up to 50 annual upgrades. If you use the Admin console to order standalone Chrome Enterprise Upgrade or Kiosk & Signage Upgrade, you can switch to an authorized partner.
