Chrome Education Upgrade licenses - time to appear in Admin Console

[3s-gtech]

I've just ordered some Edu Upgrade licenses for our Chromebooks. I've received the confirmation email from Google. How long does it typically take for these to appear in the console so I can start to assign them to devices?

It takes a couple of days. Your reseller has to process it with the distributor, who then processes it and applies them to your domain. Usually next day, but allow up to 3 I'd say.

It took about an hour today - that answered that! That was from getting the confirmation email. My test Chromebook is now managed, and I found the setting to allow users to log on with their O365 login with SAML.

Wow they're speeding up then!

In my experience, it's completely random. Sometimes it's taken a few days, sometimes mere a few hours!
