Removing Apple App Store Licenses

To manually remove licenses and use them for a different set of devices, you must delete the app policy that determines how the licenses are applied. Once the licenses have been released, you are free to reuse them.

This section contains the following topics:

Automatic License Revocation

License are released when they are automatically revoked from devices during the nightly maintenance schedule. They are then reconciled into the App Store License account. Automatic revocation occurs in devices where:

  • The associated app policy is deleted
  • The device was moved to a device group not targeted by the app policy
  • The device was deleted or unenrolled from SOTI MobiControl
  • The assignment type was switched from device based to user based

App Store License Reconciliation

The nightly maintenance schedule automatically reconciles and cleans up any errant App Store licenses and their statuses. You can also manually update the status if you do not want to wait for the nightly maintenance.
