Badge licences and billing

When badges need a licence, which Joan plans support them, what happens without enough licences after 15 November 2026, and how trials work.

Employee badges are free to use until 15 November 2026. After 15 November 2026, each badge in use needs a badge licence, added to your Joan plan.

What do I need to use employee badges?

A Joan plan: Team, Business, Organization or Enterprise. No plan includes badge licences, so you add them separately. Badge licences are billed yearly.

Which badges need a licence?

A badge licence belongs to a badge, not to a person. Every badge in use needs one, whether it’s an employee badge or a visitor badge.

A badge marked as lost or stolen gives its licence back right away.

What happens if I don’t have enough licences after 15 November?

You won’t be able to manage your badges until you have a licence for each badge in use. You can buy more licences in MyJoan, or through your Joan partner or reseller.

I’m a new customer on a trial. Do I need licences?

New customers get a 30-day trial that includes badge licences for every badge in use.

If you have questions about billing, contact us through the support form.
