VPP Question. JSS or Apple Configurator

Hi Everyone.

I'm a bit unclear on where to install the VPP codes if I am using the JSS + AC. Do I upload the token to the JSS then upload the VPP codes to each app needing them in the JSS or do I wait until I am using Apple Config and then enter the VPP's. If JSS are the codes contained in the config file or how does AC know they have been entered?

Thanks

If you add the codes to Configurator then they are locked into that Configurator under that profile (not a bad idea to backup the profile if you go this path), you will then not be able to add them the JSS for later use. You would then use Configurator to install and update the apps.

If you use them through the JSS you would them assign them to users and not devices. These are users that have joss accounts and have registered their AppleIDs with your JSS. Once assigned to a user, that user would then have to log into the Apple Store on the iPad and install the app themselves and manage all updates.

How you do it will be determined on how you are managing your devices and if they are shared or single user.

You add the redemption codes to the App in Configurator. After the app is imported you will see a number next to the app name. It should be 0. Click the 0 and you will get the option to Import Redemption Codes. Add your spreadsheet of codes there
