To distribute paid apps and books purchased in volume, you must upload one or more location-based tokens to Jamf Pro.

You also choose the country associated with the location and can specify that all purchased content is populated in the app and eBook catalogs.

  1. In Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager, follow these steps:
    1. Click on your account name in the lower-left corner, and then choose "Preferences" from the pop-up menu.
    2. Click Payments and Billing.
    3. Under the Apps and Books tab, click Download next to the correct server location content token.
      The token downloads to the Downloads folder on your computer.
      Note:

      If the content token is not displayed, click Locations and check if you have Apple Business Essentials enabled. If you do, add a new location and return to Payments and Billing > Apps and Books. The content token should now be displayed.

  2. In Jamf Pro, click Settings in the sidebar.
  3. In the Global section, click Volume purchasing .
  4. Click New.
  5. Enter a display name for the location.
    Note:

    If you configure email notifications for the location, this name displays in the email body.

  6. Click Upload Service Token and upload the service token (.vpptoken) for the location.
    Important:

    Each service token should only exist in one location at a time. If the service token you want to upload already exists in Apple's Profile Manager, delete the service token from Apple's Profile Manager before uploading it to Jamf Pro.

  7. (Optional) Select Automatically Populate Purchased Content if you want content purchased in volume to be populated in the app and eBook catalogs.
  8. (Optional) Select Notify users when an app is no longer assigned to them if you want to send a notification to users when an app is revoked.
  9. (Optional) If your environment integrates with Apple School Manager and you do not want users with Managed Apple Accounts to receive an invitation or get prompted to register with volume purchasing, select Automatically register with volume purchasing if users have Managed Apple IDs.
    Note:To automatically register users that have Managed Apple Accounts, you must create a Volume Purchasing invitation that includes the users in the scope, and additionally configure the invitation to automatically register included users. For more information, see User-Assigned Volume Purchasing Registration.
  10. Click Save .
The volume purchasing integration syncs with Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager every time the VPP License Monitor runs.
