You can license Jamf Connect by downloading a Jamf Connect license file (.jamfconnectlicense) from Jamf Account and then uploading it to a configuration profile in the Jamf Connect Configuration app. This embeds the license directly in the exported configuration profile. For more information, see Creating a Configuration Profile using Jamf Connect Configuration in the Jamf Connect Documentation.
Best Practice:
Configuration profile for the license key
Jamf recommends creating a configuration profile with just the license key. This allows you to manage your product license and Jamf Connect settings separately.
