Legal TalkHow Many Devices can an App Legally be Loaded on?
Can download and synch a product for personal, noncommercial use on any device you own or control.
Schools can sync a product for use either by: Single individual on one or more
devices Multiple individuals on a single shared
devicehttp://www.connsensebulletin.com/2011/01/apps-for-education-update/
• Education institutions must purchase apps for each device the app is installed on
• When purchasing apps through iTunes with a normal iTunes account, you will find that the next time you download it, the app store will not ask you to pay for it
• To bypass this and stay in compliance with purchasing requirements, schools can signup for the Apple Volume Purchase Program at apple.com/itunes/education
• Through the VPP, schools can purchase 1-19 copies of an app for the regular price. Once you purchase 20, subsequent purchases of that app are 1/2 off.
Apple Volume Purchase Program
Apple Volume Purchase Program• There are 3 levels to the VPP
• Authorized purchaser (usually a business manager): purchases a voucher for any amount
• Program facilitator (team member): logs onto apple.com/ itunes/education and purchases apps thru voucher system. Gets redemption codes
.• End user (teacher): Downloads app onto the computer/syncs with devices using redemption code
• Apple VPP Webinar on Tuesdays or Thursdays apple.com/itunes/education or
