Importing licensed apps from an Apple licensed account

You can import Apple licensed apps into Ivanti EPMM on the App Licenses page. This is done by refreshing Ivanti EPMM’s connection to your account, updating the available Apple licenses, and then selecting the apps you want to import into Ivanti EPMM. Ivanti EPMM refreshes available Apple licenses several times per day. However, Ivanti, Inc recommends refreshing your licenses before importing Apple licensed-apps.

Ivanti EPMM supports the importation and distribution of macOS Apple licensed apps.
