hi, first post here!
I am looking at this issue now...I think that by enrolling a series of Apple IDs on the Meraki VPP Managed Distribution user management page, and then setting up iPads with these IDs we can distribute apps without requiring login for each app on every device. When the app licences are associated with the ID they will appear under the purchased apps in the App Store on each ipad set up using that ID. I imagine this will mean one Apple ID will only work with up to 10 devices.
However I am unsure if this is permitted as in effect it is only using one licence for 10 devices?
