Hi,

I have a fleet of devices, some of which are internet-enabled, some of which aren’t. From a commercial perspective, if I only set the internet-enabled devices up as ‘managed’, with the non-enabled devices setup as ‘standalone’, do the ‘standalone’ devices count towards the device count for the commercial (e.g. Starter) plan?

Thanks!

Hi @jars121

Standalone devices will not connect to the hosted Mender server so they will not count against your device limits.

That makes perfect sense, thanks for confirming Drew.
