Keeping Licensed Apps Like FileMaker Pro up to date with "Apps"

[TheMacGuys]

I am unclear as to how to keep licensed Apps, like FileMaker Pro, up to date with "Apps" in the JSS. 

I found lots of good stuff like Adobe Reader and I see FMP in that list too but how does it handle licensing? 

Testing with Reader worked flawlessly. But its a free app. It would be nice to use that Apps - JAMF apps area to keep as many apps up to date as possible to avoid packaging etc.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for that, video on TY or something?

Cheers..

App Installers only handles installing and updating software. It doesn’t handle application licensing. You’ll need to deploy that using whatever methods you’ve been using.

I don’t know if the information in this Jamf Nation thread is still valid, but administrators have found ways to deploy licenses using Jamf Pro.

Thanks, That is what I was finding but was hoping it may have changed. In this case, I was hoping we could attach the FMP license for example. Thank you so much for the confirmation!
