All licensing in your Command organization typically co-terminates on a single expiration date. This limits your ability to distribute licenses across sites, budgets, or departments with different renewal dates and budget cycles.

License Groups address this need by giving you flexibility in how licenses are organized.

We recommend starting with Manage Licenses to learn how organization-wide license management works if you are new to Verkada licensing.

License groups let you organize licenses into separate groups based on your needs, providing better visibility, simplifying administration, and supporting internal budgeting, especially for larger organizations with multiple departments or independently managed buildings.

Each license group serves as a container for Org Admins to organize licenses by site, budget, or cost center. Rather than managing all licenses at the organization level, you can assign them to specific groups, each with its own renewal date, while keeping everything within a single organization.

All licenses are added to the default license group called Group 1. You can move licenses once you create new groups. You can also rename the default group to reflect its purpose, such as a region or department.

You can assign new purchases to the appropriate license group when you claim your license key. You can find the license key in your Verkada order email.

You can manage license groups from the All License Groups tab, which shows an overview of each group and its upcoming renewal date. Each group handles the renewal of its assigned licenses.
