GCPW - Can I get away with licensing just the first user to log on?

[TwistedHelixis]

Hi,

 

We purchase GCPW standalone endpoint licenses individually.

 

Do you know what the implications are if only the first user to logon to a GCPW device has a GCPW license and everyone else that logs in after doesn't have a license?

 

I found the following

License Scope: Any user who signs into a managed Windows device must have a license that supports advanced Windows management.

 

But I thought the first person to logon, that also had a license, would mean the device is added to the Windows management, so I am a bit confused by this.

 

Basically, all our Windows polices are deployed from a third party system, not Workspace, but I do need to have control over the user accounts being standard or admin from Google Workspace.

 

Does anyone know what the above implications would actually be for the second non licensed user?

Would I still be able to manage if the user was standard or admin from Workspace?

I am honestly confused, as Google offer a free version, and I could have all my users log on for free, so what happens when a paid for user logs in first and then a free user logs in next, is my question?

I have found a post on Reddit that says the other free users have to use 2 step authentication for each logon, so based on that there are differences between a second account logging on with a license and a non licensed account.
