Institution-Licensed Apps and Books
Apple is making it easier than ever for businesses and schools to get apps into the
hands of those who need them, whether employees, students, or faculty.
The App Store Volume Purchase Program allows your business or institution to purchase
apps, books, and textbooks individually or in bulk; pay using purchase orders or other
means; and distribute them to users directly within the App Store or iBooks Store.
Best of all, your organization maintains control and ownership of app licenses, allowing
them to be reassigned. If an employee leaves your company or a student moves on,
the app license can be revoked and allocated to another employee or student. (The
prior user receives a notication and can purchase a personal copy of the app during
the expiration grace period.)
Volume Purchasing
The App Store and iBooks Store feature thousands of great apps, books, and textbooks
ideal for businesses and educators. With the App Store Volume Purchase Program,
you can harness the power of the App Store for distributing institution-owned apps
and books.
Once enrolled in the App Store Volume Purchase Program, your business or educational
institution has access to a dedicated portal for software purchasing, license management,
and distribution.
• App Store download. Accessing new apps couldn’t be simpler. Within the App Store,
users install institutionally purchased apps directly on their Mac or iOS device using
their own personal Apple ID.
• App purchasing. The App Store Volume Purchase Program website allows your business
or school to purchase apps, books, and textbooks individually or in bulk for all of your
Apple products.
• Institutional payment methods. Apps and books can be purchased individually or
in bulk using purchase orders, credit cards, procurement cards (pCards), or PayPal.
Payment methods vary by country.
• Mac and iOS. The App Store Volume Purchase Program supports purchasing and
distributing apps and books to Mac systems running OS X Mavericks and devices
running iOS 7.
• User privacy. Users install institutionally purchased apps directly within the App Store
using their own personal Apple ID, which remains private and is never known by the
business or education institution.
• Distribution. Apps can easily be assigned to users via email, or be delivered over the
air from within Prole Manager.
The same App Store used to distribute over
50 billion apps is available for businesses and
schools to provide licensed software to their
employees, students, and faculty.
