"If you lose the Apple Configurator database, your users will retain rights to use the apps already installed on devices, and you can reimport any spreadsheets to install additional apps on devices using unredeemed codes. This paragraph is what has me hesitant about VPP redemption for cart situations With Apple Configurator, it seems to force you to redeem *all* the codes, but then lets you assign them to specific iOS devices and track which devices they are currently on.Įven with that caveat, I'd have to say that this is definitely the most promising app that Apple has released in a while, particularly for a cart scenario. Previously, you would have redeemed a single VPP code through iTunes, then manually tracked how many iOS devices that app resides on, and leaves you "on your honor" to verify that you only use as many copies of the app as you have licenses for. When you un-assign an app through Apple Configurator, it makes it available for use on any other iOS device managed through Apple Configurator - but it does not seem to allow you to go and re-redeem the app through another Apple ID. What Apple Configurator adds is an extra layer of tracking, allowing you to identify not only which codes are redeemed but which specific iOS device the app resides on. Once redeemed through Apple Configurator, those codes will forever be attached to the Apple ID used to redeem them, just as they would be through iTunes. Just to be clear, I don't believe the Apple Configurator allows you to actually un-redeem VPP codes.
