Chrome Enterprise & Education / Chromebooks and Chrome Devices / How To Re-Enroll a Deprovisioned Chromebook
In a situation where you need to re-enroll a deprovisioned Chromebook? Maybe you manage your company's Chrome fleet and you bought a new Chrome device off a site like Amazon. This device wouldn't have come with a management license because they're only able to be purchased from authorized partners of Google. Maybe you decided to give a new user an older, deprovisioned Chrome device that may not have a license after it left the hands of its last owner. No matter the situation, we've got you covered!
Before you begin
You need Chrome management licenses for all of the devices that you're going to re-enroll. If you do not have Chrome management licenses, you can purchase them from our online store here or speak to one of our Chrome experts for more information.
We recommend wiping the Chrome device(s) that you wish to enroll in your domain, because devices must be enrolled before anyone signs into them. It's better to guarantee that the device has been wiped of all local user data instead of finding out later. Click here to learn how to factory reset a Chromebox.

Step 1: Wipe the deprovisioned Chromebook
1. Begin by powering down the Chromebook. Then, simultaneously press the Esc + Refresh + Power keys on your keyboard.
2. This will bring up a menu with a yellow exclamation point. Follow the remaining on-screen prompts to complete the wiping process.
Step 2: Re-enroll the deprovisioned Chromebook to your domain
Now that you've wiped the Chromebook, all that's left to do is re-enroll the deprovisioned Chromebook to your domain.
1. Turn on the Chrome device and follow the onscreen instructions until you see the sign-in screen. Don't sign in yet.
2. Before signing in to the Chrome device, press Ctrl + Alt + E to go to the enrollment screen.
3. Enter the username and password from your Google admin welcome letter, or the username and password for an existing Google Workspace user on your account that has eligibility to enroll.
Note: You can control which users can enroll in your domain with the Enrollment Permissions user policy.
