[ipad] Deploying Books via Mosyle

[gtg93]

Hi All,

 

We have a about 100 iPads managed via Mosyle (free) here, and the school are wanting to deploy ibooks purchased on the ASM/VPP platform.

 

Now the iPads are setup as shared devices in Mosyle with no Apple account signed in on them - any idea the best way forward?

 

 

Mosyle seems to imply it is possible to do this, though not quite as easily as deploying apps:

 

When I deploy a book to a shared cart, the devices don't prompt for anything. The book shows up in the Mosyle Manager app, but when you click install it simply says "Please, check your licenses to continue the installation".

 

The book still shows pending deployment in Mosyle, and when I look at the commands list for this device it shows as follows:

 

Presumably I'm missing something?

You cant device assign books they need to be assigned to an Apple ID. You also cant revoke books once they are assigned to an Apple ID. Best way forward would be to create Apple IDs for your users in Apple School Manager and assign the books to them. Edited March 11, 2021 by tmoon-mint
