Seats
How seats are allocated and how installations are recorded and identified.
Each new activation uses one purchased seat. The example shows an organization with 100 seats.

Registration records
SC Key Server keeps a record for every activation: the assigned user, the seat, the device and its activation history. Administrators can find an installation by user, computer name or asset tag, when one was supplied.
| Seat | User | Device | SC Key ID | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 001 | User 1 | DELL-LATITUDE-01 | SCK-ACME-000001 | Active |
| 042 | User 42 | DELL-LATITUDE-42 | SCK-ACME-000042 | Active |
| 100 | User 100 | DELL-LATITUDE-100 | SCK-ACME-000100 | Active |
These are examples. Real device names and users come from your activations.
