Subscriptions
Subscriptions track time-bound items tied to an Asset — warranties, licenses, and fees — with warning and alert reminders.
Subscriptions
A Subscription is anything time-bound and tied to an Asset that you need to keep track of. Examples include:
- Warranties — such as a Dell server warranty.
- Licenses — such as a Ruckus controller or SonicWall firewall license.
- Annual fees — such as a PowerSchool or Infinite Campus hosting subscription.
Anything mapped to an Asset that has a clock on it is a good candidate for a Subscription.
Reviewing Your Subscriptions
The Subscriptions menu is an aggregator — it pulls together every Subscription in your organization for one-stop review.
Entering or Editing a Subscription
You create and edit a Subscription on the Asset it belongs to, under that asset’s Subscriptions tab. You can add a Subscription to a PC, a Chromebook, or a manually created asset. For most assets you won’t add one; the feature is most useful for high-value or sensitive items.
Getting Alerted Before a Subscription Ends
Two optional fields drive reminders:
- Warn Days — warns you that the end is getting close.
- Alert Days — alerts you more urgently that immediate action is needed.
Leave either blank to disable that reminder. Once per week the system raises a System Alert if you’re within Warn Days of expiration; once per day if you’re within Alert Days. Different subscriptions may warrant different windows — a server warranty might use 90 Warn / 30 Alert days, while a cloud subscription might use shorter windows. See Profile Management for how to receive these alerts by email.
Note: your organization’s K12Panel license is not a “Subscription” — it’s your License, found in Settings.
Common Questions
Where do I add a Subscription?
On the Asset’s Subscriptions tab; the Subscriptions menu just aggregates them all.
How do reminders work?
Warn Days raises a weekly alert; Alert Days raises a daily alert. Blank disables that reminder.
Can I put a Subscription on a Chromebook or manual asset?
Yes — on PCs, Chromebooks, and manually created assets.
Is my K12Panel license a Subscription?
No. That’s your License, shown in Settings.
