Renewing an App Store License Account

Before you begin

You must have an App Store License account bound to an "Apps and Books" content/server token in Apple Business Manager.

About this task

To ensure continuity in the deployment of licensed App Store applications to your Apple devices, you must renew an App Store License account annually before its content/server token expires.

To renew an App Store License account to SOTI MobiControl, do the following:

Procedure

  1. Select Global Settings from the main menu.
  2. From the Settings tree on the left, select Apple > App Store License Management. The App Store License Management page opens (see App Store License Management).
  3. Find the App Store License account with a content/server token that is about to expire (see Content/Server Token Expiry). Select the account name to open that account for renewal (see Accounts (App Store License)).
    Global Settings > Apple > Edit: Accounts dialog box
  4. Open a new browser tab, and navigate to https://business.apple.com/ (for schools, use https://school.apple.com/).
  5. Log in to Apple Business Manager, access the Apps and Books section.
  6. Under Server Tokens, download the token. See Manage content tokens in Apple Business Manager for details.
    Apple Business Manager > Payments and Billing > Apps and Books > Server Tokens
  7. Return to SOTI MobiControl, in the Content/Server Token field, upload the new token you have downloaded from the "Apps and Books" section in Apple Business Manager.
    Tip: You can browse for the token file or drag it into the field.
    Note: The correct "Apps and Books" content/server token in Apple Business Manager has a name that is identical to the value of the account's Location field.
    You have uploaded a new content/server token and the Content/Server Token Expiry field automatically updates with the new expiry date.
  8. Select Save to save changes and renew your App Store License account.
