Prepare for VPP app distribution

iOS 7+

There are two ways to distribute VPP apps:

Distribution method Supported version Apple ID Preparation
Per User iOS 7+ Required

  • Register Apple ID to VPP

  • Purchase VPP app licenses
Per Device iOS 9+ Not Required

  • Purchase VPP app licenses

 

Distribute VPP apps per Device

1. Go to CONFIG > Application and click button of the VPP app.

 

2. Set it as follows:

Assignment Method Per Device

 

Note: When changing the license allocation method from per-user to per-device, one license is granted per device. Therefore, if a user is associated with multiple managed devices, the number of licenses may be insufficient and VPP applications cannot be distributed.
Notify Disassociation ON

 

A notification will appear on the managed device when the VPP app license allocation is released.

Distribute VPP apps per User

2. Set it as follows:

 

Assignment Method Per User

A notification will appear on the managed device when the VPP app license allocation is released.
