Zebra has a Application called work force connect Push to Talk wfc-ptt

Each device needs a activation code.

Is there anyone who can tell me how i push this down to the device so that the app is then activated with no manual input .

I have been told that you need to send an intent but i have never done this before and need help building a script and also to know where the file needs to go on the device

If you have been provided with an AID value then you need to create a Profile in the StageNow application that assigns 1 license to your device(s) based on that AID value from the Cloud based licensing portal. Test the StageNow barcode on a sample device to confirm that it pulls a license from the licensing server, ensuring that the device is connected to the public internet during this process. Then once the StageNow barcode method is validated you can export the XML from StageNow and then create a SOTI Package or File Sync rule that delivers it to the device. It doesn't really matter where you put it, say just /sdcard/ if you want, what matters is the Post-Install / Post-Sync Script that you'll add to execute the XML. 

mxconfig /sdcard/yourlicense.xml

The mxconfig script will process the xml file which contains the instructions for the License Manager app to go out and retrieve a license from the cloud based licensing portal.

Assuming you did all that correctly, the devices should be able to be licensed silently without any end user intervention.
