Unlimited licenses for Apple volume purchase program (VPP) apps

What changed

Apps supplied with an unlimited license entitlement in Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager can be assigned through Intune without maintaining a finite license quantity for those apps.

Technical details

• Assignment of VPP apps with an unlimited Apple license entitlement
• Supported platforms: iOS/iPadOS and macOS

Why it matters

Endpoint administrators can simplify license-capacity tracking for eligible Apple apps while retaining control of app targeting and deployment validation.

Known limitations

• The announcement applies to eligible apps with unlimited licenses; it does not state that all VPP apps have unlimited entitlements.

Now check

• Check the app entitlement in Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager and identify apps marked with unlimited licenses.
• Synchronize the corresponding Apple VPP token in Intune and verify that the eligible app and its license information are available.
• Pilot an app assignment to representative managed iOS/iPadOS and macOS devices, checking installation and assignment status before broad deployment.
