How Old Snook Installs the New for Mac

Old Snook's Guide to Installing Apps with Apple Configurator

In the past, redeeming a single VPP code through iTunes was a tedious process. You would have to manually track how many iOS devices that app resided on, leaving you 'on your honor' to verify that you only used as many copies of the app as you had licenses for. This method lacked transparency and made it difficult to keep track of which codes were redeemed and which specific iOS device the app was installed on.

However, with Apple Configurator, managing VPP codes has become a more streamlined process. 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 what happens to the app after that? Does it allow you to re-redeem the app through another Apple ID? Unfortunately, no.

Apple Configurator adds an extra layer of tracking, allowing you to identify not only which codes are redeemed but also 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 like they would be through iTunes. It's important to note that Apple Configurator does not allow you to actually un-redeem VPP codes.

In conclusion, installing apps with Apple Configurator has made managing VPP codes easier and more transparent. With this new feature, you can keep track of which codes are redeemed and which specific iOS device the app is installed on, making it a valuable tool for anyone who manages multiple devices.
