For more information about managing inventory, see the following topics:
  • Devices: The device count includes only the devices in activated, enrolled, and pending removed control state with licenses assigned. This count does not include the devices that are hidden, mailbox sync’ed, or in user removed control state.

    This device count is same on the MaaS360 Portal Home page, License Overview page, Device Inventory page, and the Billing report.

    Note: Devices that are pending control removal will have the licenses removed when the devices receive and apply this action. For devices that did not get the action for prolonged time for any reason, the administrator can hide such devices which will remove the license from them. Unless hidden, these devices would continue to be included in the device count shown on the homepage.
