Pre-Requisites of FileWave Windows MDM Setup
What
FileWave can integrate and use the framework of Microsoft Windows MDM to manage Windows endpoints, but there are licensing requirements that need to be satisfied (outside of FileWave).
When/Why
Windows MDM requires certain licenses based on your organization's relationship with Microsoft. As far as FileWave-specific licensing is concerned, each endpoint need only have a FW client license.
How
All Windows MDM function relies on Azure Active Directory, so that must be in place for your organization. Specifically Azure Premium P1 or P2. Many of their license bundles include that license. Additionally, you'll need AutoPilot access and access to the Microsoft store for business:
