So, you get 25 free sandboxes now. Cool! Now with great power comes great responsibility - don't stuff it up!
...
This will free up licences to give access to your developers, if needed.

Actually, thanks to Brent Downey and his great tip in this article - Best Practices for Managing Salesforce Users - Admin Hero - Deactivate all users that won't be using the Sandbox (Hint: if you are a developer, add it to your Class that gets run on creation of the Sandbox). And remember to deactivate a user from ALL the sandboxes if they leave the org. Now, having thought that through a bit, you as the System Administrator may not actually have access to every Sandbox that has been created ("Manage Sandbox" is the permission level). If another user has created one, AND they haven't changed your email address, then you will not be able to log into it. This is NOT cool! (again, add it to your class, and make it a company policy that any Sandbox must have these people activated on it). Of course you can just refresh the sandbox, but that might not win you friends |
Now, create user accounts for your developers - make sure they are System Administrators, otherwise they can't do much.
