Go to Settings: Click on "Settings" in the sidebar menu.

In Jamf Now: Click on "Volume Purchasing" directly.

Add a New Location (Jamf Pro only):If this is your first time setting up Volume Purchasing, click "New."

Enter a descriptive name for the location (e.g., "ABM Apps"). This name is for reference only.

Upload Downloaded Token:Click on a location (New one in Jamf Pro or the existing one).

Click "Edit" (Jamf Pro) or the pencil icon (Jamf Now).

Click "Renew Server Token" (Jamf Pro) or "Upload Server Token" (Jamf Now).

Browse and select the server token downloaded from ABM in step 1.

Save Changes: Click "Save" (Jamf Pro) or "Save Changes" (Jamf Now) to complete the configuration.

Additional Notes:

The server token expires after a year. Repeat steps 1-3 in ABM to download a new token when needed.

Jamf will automatically sync apps from ABM to Volume Purchasing based on your configuration.
