Purchase applications to use.

If you purchase applications through managed distribution, before adding the applications to Knox Manage, you must download a VPP token from Apple and register it on Knox Manage. A VPP token functions as a link between the VPP website and Knox Manage and enables importing the license codes of the purchased applications.

A VPP token can be renewed on a yearly basis. Thirty days prior to the expiration date a pop-up alert will appear reminding you to renew the token.
