WEBVTT 00:07.220 --> 00:12.890 Next, I want to talk briefly about volume purchase program, what Apple's VP program allows you to 00:12.890 --> 00:21.140 do is designate yourself or someone else in your organization to purchase apps for distribution to manage 00:21.140 --> 00:27.920 the iPads or provide them as redeemable codes to users in your organization. 00:28.790 --> 00:32.060 So I'm going to go into the education store because that's where my account is. 00:33.830 --> 00:39.020 All right, now, once I've signed in, I can see that I have a balance here that shows you how much 00:39.020 --> 00:46.050 credit you purchased, credit on the App Store through purchase order or through credit card card, 00:46.070 --> 00:48.520 something like that, depending on your situation. 00:49.610 --> 00:54.530 And basically what you're provided with is a media type dropdown. 00:54.530 --> 01:00.110 You can do iOS apps, Mac apps or books for the eBook store or all. 01:01.070 --> 01:03.140 And you can just go in here. 01:07.050 --> 01:11.310 And type in any kind of app, lets go ahead and do. 01:13.430 --> 01:14.690 Railroad tycoon. 01:16.040 --> 01:17.030 Very educational. 01:18.890 --> 01:24.530 So you can see as I searched that I see the various different iPad apps, iPhone apps. 01:25.980 --> 01:26.970 Mac apps. 01:28.540 --> 01:33.310 And books, so this gives me the ability to go in and select these different things. 01:34.710 --> 01:41.100 So I'm going to go ahead and actually go with Sid Meier's radio railroads for the Mac because that is 01:41.100 --> 01:44.630 the closest thing to railroad tycoon I'm going to find, I think, at this point. 01:45.390 --> 01:50.970 So a few things that you can see once you've selected an app that you want to purchase, you have the 01:50.970 --> 01:57.700 ability to enter a quantity and some apps will give you the ability to give you a price break. 01:57.990 --> 02:01.530 This does not it's 999, regardless of how many you buy. 02:01.980 --> 02:09.390 So if I want to buy ten of these, I get my subtotal here and then I have my distribution type redeemable 02:09.390 --> 02:10.080 code. 02:10.320 --> 02:12.570 It's basically going to give me a spreadsheet of codes. 02:12.570 --> 02:19.500 I can distribute those codes of their one time use so I could give them to a colleague. 02:19.980 --> 02:24.450 They would take the take the one code and enter it in and download it and redeem it. 02:24.480 --> 02:32.160 They've now basically transferred ownership of railroads from my organization to their ability that 02:32.220 --> 02:33.630 can be their personal applied. 02:33.930 --> 02:36.420 I'm basically gifting them the app. 02:36.420 --> 02:37.650 There's no way to get it back. 02:38.970 --> 02:44.040 The other option, which is much more popular, especially in organizations where there's high turnover, 02:44.190 --> 02:49.830 students, different applications that need to be used in different classes or different use cases is 02:49.830 --> 02:51.000 managed distribution. 02:51.180 --> 02:56.370 And what manage distribution allows you to do is use an MDM solution and then. 02:57.960 --> 03:00.960 Bring in those 10 seats that I'm purchasing. 03:01.970 --> 03:08.600 Assign them out to 10 users and then at a later date, pull them back from all 10 or a subset of them 03:08.960 --> 03:12.990 who don't need them anymore and then assign them to other users. 03:13.370 --> 03:18.740 So you're basically renting out the apps to users in your organization, but the organization retains 03:18.740 --> 03:20.340 ownership of all those licenses. 03:20.720 --> 03:23.630 So that's a more popular way of doing that in a large organization. 03:23.630 --> 03:30.410 So I can choose manage distribution, I can hit review order and it'll go through or purchase it. 03:30.410 --> 03:35.130 And I'm not going to go any further than that on this because I don't actually want to buy these. 03:35.160 --> 03:40.310 Now, the other thing you can do, and I'm just going to go back to all clear this out. 03:41.930 --> 03:44.270 And find a different app here. 03:44.300 --> 03:45.290 Let's go with. 03:47.170 --> 03:48.070 Let's try pages. 03:51.550 --> 03:52.660 So here's pages. 03:54.690 --> 03:56.700 And it shows that it's a free iOS app. 03:57.810 --> 04:06.150 But I can use it because it's free, I can use them for managed distribution so I can still go in and 04:06.150 --> 04:12.050 purchase one hundred copies of these and I can do the review, the order, and I can collect those. 04:12.300 --> 04:18.290 And since those are free, I can now manage and distribute those via an MDM as well. 04:18.600 --> 04:25.020 So just because it's a free app doesn't mean that it's not a useful thing to use PvP for. 04:27.530 --> 04:29.140 So I'll cancel all of that as well. 04:30.310 --> 04:39.260 All right, let's try something else, let's try pixel meter, so popular alternative to Photoshop for 04:39.260 --> 04:39.860 the iPad. 04:40.310 --> 04:41.690 So here's Pixel Meter here. 04:43.240 --> 04:49.780 And so what's really cool about pixellated is that they actually do have a price break for quantity, 04:49.900 --> 04:54.030 so they're 499 each, up to 20 units and then more than 20 they're to forty nine. 04:54.040 --> 04:59.470 So, you know, if you've got, you know, the need for it and you know you're going to have at least 04:59.470 --> 05:04.160 20 people using it, even if it's in a managed distribution, get the price break. 05:04.390 --> 05:06.570 So here you can go and put in 20. 05:07.840 --> 05:11.380 Here's my total managed distribution review in order. 05:12.820 --> 05:13.750 And go from there. 05:15.120 --> 05:21.630 So that's volume purchase and why you may want to use that either for paid apps or free apps, and the 05:21.630 --> 05:27.240 pricing will depend on the publisher, obviously, and whether or not they provide a price break over 05:27.240 --> 05:28.610 a certain quantity. 05:28.890 --> 05:32.160 And if you're using the business or the academic store.
