Understanding Phonecheck License Types

This article provides a clear overview of all Phonecheck license types and how they are consumed. Some licenses include a grace period, meaning that if a device is re-tested or re-processed within a defined timeframe, an additional license will not be consumed. These licenses are noted with (grace period).

Our goal is to help you understand exactly when each license is used so you can accurately plan, track, and manage your operational costs.
