Removing Apple App Store Licenses
To manually remove licenses and use them for a different set of devices, you must delete the app policy that determines how the licenses are applied. Once the licenses have been released, you are free to reuse them.
This section contains the following topics:
- Reconciling App Store Licenses
- Revoking App Store Licenses on Other MDM Instances
- Removing App Store Licenses from Devices
Automatic License Revocation
License are released when they are automatically revoked from devices during the nightly maintenance schedule. They are then reconciled into the App Store License account. Automatic revocation occurs in devices where:
- The associated app policy is deleted
- The device was moved to a device group not targeted by the app policy
- The device was deleted or unenrolled from SOTI MobiControl
- The assignment type was switched from device based to user based
App Store License Reconciliation
The nightly maintenance schedule automatically reconciles and cleans up any errant App Store licenses and their statuses. You can also manually update the status if you do not want to wait for the nightly maintenance.
