Apple Apps and Books (VPP) Tokens

What

Apple Apps and Books location tokens—commonly called VPP or Volume Purchase Program tokens—connect licenses from Apple Business Manager (ABM) or Apple School Manager (ASM) to FileWave. An organization can use one or multiple location tokens.

When/Why

Each token represents an ABM or ASM location and exposes that location's licensed apps and books to FileWave. In FileWave Anywhere, use Sources → VPP Tokens to add, refresh, edit, or remove a token.

How

Select the plus icon () to add a token. Use the actions menu to edit, refresh, or remove one. Before removal, move or remove the FileWave payloads and license assignments that depend on that token.

Adding or refreshing a token starts with a current location token downloaded from Apple:

1. In ABM or ASM, select the intended location and download its Apps and Books server token.
2. Upload the token to FileWave.
3. Set the country and language used for store metadata.
4. Give the token a descriptive name that identifies its Apple location.
5. Choose the FileWave group where synchronized Apps and Books payloads should be created; the default is the root.
