Machines & licensing

Add computers, read your organisation’s license, see every install package and how many computers joined with it, and stop a package without disconnecting anyone.

Settings › Machines & licensing is where you add computers and see what they joined with: your organisation’s license and every install package. Every member can read it. The Add machines button and stopping a package need the Admin or Owner role, signed in to the dashboard. The tab sits directly after Fleet under Settings. An old bookmark to the Licensing page opens this tab.

The tab has three cards: Add computers, Your license and Install packages.

​

Add computers

The card lists the operating systems Quint installs on, macOS, Windows and Linux, and has the tab’s one main button, Add machines. It opens the Add machines wizard, which works with Jamf Pro, Microsoft Intune, Iru (formerly Kandji), Mosyle, other MDMs, Ansible, Puppet and Chef, or one computer at a time.

You see	Why
Add machines is greyed out, with “Only an admin of your organisation can add computers.”	Your role is Read or Policy Writer. Ask an Admin or Owner.
Add machines is greyed out, with “Adding computers needs an admin signed in to Quint.”	The session was opened with an API token. Sign in to the dashboard.
No button, and “Adding computers is reserved for the customer.”	You opened a customer’s dashboard as a partner. The customer adds computers.

​

Your license

One license covers every computer in your organisation. The card’s title shows its status (Active, Revoked or Expired), and the card lists:

Field	What it is
Organisation	Your organisation’s name.
Organisation ID	Your organisation’s identifier, with a copy button.
License ID	The reference to give Quint support when you contact us, with a copy button.
Issued and Expires	When the license was issued, and when it ends, or “Does not expire”.

Technical details opens the Signing key ID. The tab never shows the license itself or any join code.

If the card says “Your organisation has no license yet, and Quint can’t issue one right now”, click Retry in a while, or contact Quint support if it doesn’t clear.

​

Install packages

Each package adds computers until it is full or you stop it. Each row is one package. Every package made in Add machines is listed, and so is any enrollment token made earlier under Settings › API tokens, marked “Made under API tokens”. Make a new package opens Add machines.

Column	What it shows
Package	The name, what it is for (Macs (MDM), Windows (Intune) or Linux), and who made it.
Computers	”N computers joined”, with the package’s limit underneath (“up to 500”, or “no limit”), and the day the last computer joined. Quint sets the limit when the package is made.
Expires	The day the package stops admitting new computers, or the day it was stopped.
Status	One of the four below.

Details opens the owner, when it was created, when the last computer joined, what its status means, the Profile identifier (the enrollment profile’s identifier in your MDM, Mac packages only), and the Package ID.

Status	Meaning
Active	New computers can join.
Stopped	No new computers can join. Joined computers keep running.
Expired	Past its end date. New computers can’t join.
Full	Every computer it allows has joined. Make a new package to add more: Make another package opens Add machines. A package’s limit can’t be raised.

​

Stop new computers joining

Stop a package when a group’s rollout is done, or when its files may have leaked.

1. Click Stop new computers joining

   On the package’s row, click Stop new computers joining. Only an Active package offers it.

2. Confirm

   The dialog says how many computers already joined and that they keep running and keep reporting. Stopping can’t be undone: to add more computers later, make a new package. Click Stop new computers joining.

3. Remove it from your tool

   Remove the package’s profiles or files from your management tool too, so new computers don’t try to use it.

​

Stopping is not revoking

A package’s join code also appears under Settings › API tokens, with the link Install package · in Machines & licensing. Revoking it there is a different, harder action: it disconnects every computer the package enrolled, and they stop sending data until each is enrolled again. The revoke dialog says so, with a link back to this tab. To end a rollout and keep the joined computers, stop the package here instead.

​

If this fails
