Warning
When you reset a device enrolled with TinyMDM directly from the device, the console isn’t aware that the device has been wiped. The device’s “card” that was created in the Devices tab during the enrollment process stays and still use a licence. If you were to re-enroll the same device, another card would be created with a different ID (though the serial number and other informations about the device would stay the same). To free the licence of the device that was wiped, you need to delete the device from the console: to do that, go to the Devices tab on your console, click on the menu in the top right corner of your device’s “card”, and click on “wipe the device”.
