Overview
Managing Apple devices with the Radix Device Manager is simple. The Radix Device Manager fully supports the Apple Volume Purchase Program (= VPP) and Device Enrollment Program (= DEP). You can read about the Apple DEP and VPP in the Apple Business Manager Guide.
Verifying your Eligibility and Registering an Account with Apple
Before you can start managing your device with the Radix MDM and DEP/VPP capabilities, verify that you have a relevant Apple account or that you are eligible for one. If you do not have an account with Apple, create one here: https://deploy.apple.com.
