You can quickly view the current number of seats and activations in the Organization Manager Dashboard. The quantity of seats and activations is set in your Plan and Billing section. These can be increased or decreased as needed.  ![](https://support.id.land/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-29-2026-05-56-56-5137-PM.png?width=670&height=341&name=image-png-Oct-29-2026-05-56-56-5137-PM.png) [Back to top](https://support.id.land/understanding-seats-and-activations#top) ### **How Seats Work** A seat is what gives a person access to Land id. Seats are purchased annually and kept in a shared pool. When you assign a seat to someone, it comes out of the pool; when that seat is freed, it goes back. - **A seat is in use when:** a person is active, or has a pending invitation (the seat is held the moment you invite them). - **A seat is freed when:** you deactivate or remove a person, you revoke a pending invitation, or an invitation expires (after 7 days). Anyone who’s been deactivated, expired invitations, and Billing Contacts (who aren’t on a team) do not occupy seats. Owners and Team Admins can assign seats from the pool. Billing Contacts can see seat usage but don’t assign seats. **Tip:**  Because seats and activations are shared at the Organization Plan level, freeing one up anywhere makes it available everywhere. **Out of seats?**  You can’t [invite](https://support.id.land/invite-users?hsLang=en) or reactivate someone without an open seat. [Add seats in Plan & Billing](https://support.id.land/manage-organization-plan-and-billing?hsLang=en) first, then continue. ### How activations work An activation is the capacity to keep one virtual property tour published. Like seats, activations are shared across your whole Organization Plan and are bought in bundles. **An activation is in use when:** a tour is in the published state. Anyone with a seat can publish a tour, as long as your pool has capacity. **An activation is freed when:** a tour is unpublished — the capacity returns to the pool right away.
