Deploying Projects from Avalanche with Unlicensed Devices

To deploy projects to the Velocity Client using Ivanti Avalanche, you do not need to have Avalanche licenses to manage devices. Through the mobile device management software, you can use payloads to distribute configurations that devices can locate, download, and install through a scanned QR code.

This process can only be performed after creating a .wldep file with your project using the Velocity Console. For more information, see Deploying Projects from the Velocity Console.

You can configure multiple file payloads for each device.

When you redeploy a project payload to devices, the previous version of the project is overwritten.

For devices not managed by Avalanche, you must print these configuration changes as QR codes for devices to scan.

To deploy projects to the Velocity Client when the device does not have an Avalanche license:

1.Log in to the Avalanche Console.

2.From the Profiles tab, navigate to the folder where you want the payload created.

In the Avalanche navigation tree, there is a Default device folder. If all of your devices are using the same configuration, you may want to use the Default folder. However, if you have devices using different configurations, create a separate folder for each configuration.

3.Click Add Payload in the Available Payloads panel.

4.The Payload dialog box appears. Select the Android option, and then the File payload to upload the project bundle.

5.Configure the options as desired and click Save.

6.From the Profiles tab, click Add Profile in the Available Profiles panel.

7.The New Profile dialog box appears. Click Application Configuration.

8.Create a name for the profile, then select the payload or payloads you want to associate with the profile. Save your changes.

9.Select the checkbox next to the name of the profile and click Apply in the Available Profiles panel.

10.Deploy your changes.

11.In the Navigation Tree, click the View button to view the folder details.

12.On the Folder Details page, click Print QR Code.

13.The QR code for the payloads applied to the folder appears in the browser. Print or email the QR code as needed and scan it to download the compressed project file and apply the configurations included.

The device connects to the Avalanche server and pulls the configuration files associated with the folder. The device is not enrolled in Avalanche and does not appear in the Avalanche inventory. The next time you run the Velocity Client on a device, the application automatically detects and downloads the compressed file in the /enterprise/usr folder.
