- SOTI MobiControl versions earlier than 2027.0
- Apple devices managed with SOTI MobiControl
- Free apps purchased through Apple Business Manager Apps and Books (VPP)

Description

1. What is changing:
Apple changed free app licensing in Apple Business Manager. License counts for free apps now show as 2,147,483,647 instead of the purchased quantity, which is the 32-bit maximum integer to represent unlimited licenses. 

2. Impact:
In versions earlier than 2027.0, SOTI MobiControl displays this number as-is in VPP license views and App Policies. App deployment is not affected.

3. Action required:
None. Upgrade to SOTI MobiControl 2027.0, once available, to see "Unlimited" displayed in place of the 32-bit integer. Contact SOTI Support if you need assistance.
