[MacTUG] Migrating from VPP to "Apps & Books" starting Nov 11th

[Donald Duff-McCracken]

On the morning of Nov 11th Luis Marroquin from Apple is meeting with Glenn and Cassie and myself to start migrating accounts from VPP to “Apps and Books” within Apple School Manager.

This note is just a heads up, at this point as we are talking to Luis about the process, so more details will follow. Currently, I am not sure if we will have time to migrate all accounts and it is pretty straightforward if no purchased apps are involved – in fact Glenn and I already migrated my VPP account to “Apps & Books” with no problem (once we figured out what to do). My account was an easy account to migrate as there was no paid for apps (just free things like GarageBand). Whether one has purchased apps is one of the details we should know about as we don’t want those licenses lost in the migration.

At any rate, ideally we can migrate all the accounts over but a) we might not have enough time and b) the timing may not work for everyone. Glenn will be contacting everyone that is currently using VPP but I will put further info on here just to make sure that everyone is in the loop.

More details to follow…
Thanks
