Features
Server features

  • A new activation option for Android devices was implemented. It replaces the “old” SMS activation method where the activation data was sent in the SMS content. This new option supports using a one-time activation code that must be entered in the MDM client after installation.
    • The enrollment text can be defined in Settings > Messages
      Note: The messages in settings will be overwritten as announced in our newsletter in March.
    • The email activation also supports this new activation code method.
      Please note: This method is only supported for devices running Android version lower than 10 and Work Profile enrollment.
  • MDM system time zone settings have been implemented.
  • Device Owner devices and work profiles can now be re-assigned to the same user they were activated initially. Please note: Moving these devices to any other users is not supported due to technical restrictions.
  • An option for installation the of APK files, directly via MDM system for DO and Work Profiles from several sources, has been implemented.
