I have Skydio Care for several drones. Can I pool my Care replacements and apply them to any of my drones?
Skydio Care
Your available replacements are tied to each individual drone for which you have purchased Skydio Care. In other words, each drone has its own set of replacements that cannot be used by another drone.
Skydio Care Enterprise
If you have Skydio Care Enterprise, you may share coverage across multiple drones.
The following requirements must be met in order to pool your Skydio Care replacements:
- All drones must be purchased on the same order
- All drones must have the same Skydio Care Enterprise package
- All drones must be the same model (e.g. Skydio 2+, Skydio X2E Color/Thermal, or Skydio X2E Color)
Examples:
- You purchased two Skydio X2 Colors a few months ago. Now you purchase two more Skydio X2 Colors, both with Skydio Care. You can only pool the entitlements for the second two drones.
- You purchase six Skydio 2+ drones, three with Skydio Care and three without. Only the three with Skydio Care may use the entitlements.
- You have 5 Skydio X2 Color/Thermals and 5 Skydio X2 Colors, all purchased with Skydio Care. You cannot pool the entitlements for all 10 drones. You CAN pool the entitlements for the 5 X2 Color/Thermals, and separately you can pool the entitlements for the 5 X2 Colors.
