Operation Manual
Chapter 7 Conguration and management 65
The process is simple: After enrolling in the program, administrators log into the DEP website,
link the program to their MDM server or servers, and “claim” the Apple devices purchased from
Apple or a participating Apple Authorized Reseller or carrier. The devices can then be assigned
to an MDM server. Once the device is enrolled, any MDM-specied congurations, restrictions,
or controls are automatically installed.

Apple devices must meet the following criteria in order to be eligible for assignment using the
Device Enrollment Program:
•
Devices must be ordered on or after March 1, 2011 and purchased directly from Apple using
your enrolled and veried Apple customer numbers.
•
Devices must be purchased directly from a participating Apple Authorized Reseller or carrier
and linked to that reseller’s DEP Reseller ID. The actual date of eligibility is determined by your
participating Apple Authorized Reseller or carrier’s sales history, but the date can’t be before
March 1, 2011.
Note: The Device Enrollment Program isn’t available in all countries or regions.
Eligible Apple devices are available for assignment by order number to your MDM servers on
the Apple Deployment Programs website. You can also look up devices by type and by serial
number within those orders. After new orders ship, you can search for them on the DEP website
and automatically assign them to a specic MDM server. For example, when you place an iPad
order for 5000 units, you can use the order number to assign all or a specic number of the iPad
devices to an existing authorized MDM server. You can also assign devices to a specic MDM
server by serial number. This method is helpful in situations where the devices you need to
assign are in your physical possession.
Future orders can be automatically assigned to an authorized MDM server, negating the need for
you to manually manage Apple device assignment.
