Summary
- Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager give organizations a simple way to acquire content from their service called Apps and Books.
- Setting up volume purchasing in Jamf Now allows for app deployment without requiring an Apple ID to install the app.
- Steps for setup include:
- Download your Apps and Books server token from Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager.
- In Jamf Now, click Volume Purchasing and upload your server token.
- An Apps and Books token must be renewed once per year to maintain the connection between Jamf Now and Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager.
- Both paid and free apps require licenses that are obtained from Apps and Books in Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager.
- These licenses allow the app to be deployed without requiring an Apple ID from the device's user.

- Ensure you have obtained enough licenses in Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager to cover all devices assigned to a Blueprint when adding a new app for deployment.
