We FINALLY have Apple School Manager..whew.

Two questions

  1. If we scope machines to get iWork from JAMF will it overwrite the version installed by signing onto the App Store?

  2. I tried twice to install iWork automatically and wasn't successful. Self-service works. Can't see launching Self-Service on 700+ endpoints.

Hey there!

On iOS and iPadOS it does that the VPP version of iWork apps overwrites the App Store version previously installed. For macOS, I believe I've always deleted the App Store version from the device, THEN scoped the VPP iWorks license to automatically install. I realize you asked this way back in March, but wanted to contribute in case you hadn't found a solution yet.
