As the second part of the free Apple Business Manager<\/a> portal, Apple VPP contains crucial features for IT admins. But what is Apple VPP? And what are its main benefits? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Apple VPP?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Alongside Apple DEP, Apple VPP is one of two important tools contained in the Apple Business Manager portal, as explained in our complete guide to Apple Business Manager<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple VPP (Volume Purchase Program) enables companies and educational institutions to centrally purchase a large number of app licenses for iOS and macOS devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are the Advantages of Apple’s VPP?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Apple VPP significantly simplifies your company\u2019s central administration of apps. You can buy apps in large quantities and easily assign them to the appropriate users. If large quantities of apps are purchased, there are also discounts available when compared to the individual purchase price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, a VPP account gives you access to tailor-made B2B apps from private developers. App developers can directly distribute their apps through the VPP to their customers\u2019 VPP account instead of using the public App Store. This is especially useful for third-party app developers as they can control who has access to their app. For example, if an app developer has created an app that is intended for internal use only within the customer\u2019s business, the developer can publish it so that only the customer can access it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Apple Volume Purchase Program also has a few advantages for end users. Apps no longer have to be purchased and then billed individually to the company. In addition, if the app is distributed in combination with an MDM solution for example Cortado MDM<\/a><\/strong>, no Apple ID is even required when installing the apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Requirements for Using the Apple Volume Purchase Program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once the right apps have been selected for mobile users, they should be rolled out to the iOS devices as quickly and as easily as possible. Apple VPP supports various distribution methods, for example using an MDM solution. We describe the different rollout options in detail here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
