Managing LanSchool Air Licenses

Overview

The LanSchool Air client is installed per device for Windows and Mac OS devices. As devices are repurposed or replaced, it is important to fully recover (free up) the LanSchool Air license.

Recovering the LanSchool Air license takes 2 steps:
  1.  Remove the LanSchool Air software from the device.
  2. Delete the device from the Student list in the LanSchool Air Settings.

Uninstalling LanSchool Air from the Student Device

The first step in freeing up a LanSchool Air license is to uninstall the software from the device. LanSchool Air can be uninstalled manually from each device using an Administrator account or can be removed using a deployment tool.

If the device has been repurposed without the LanSchool Air software installed or is broken and cannot be logged into again then you can continue to Removing the License from Students.
