Description

Goodnotes 5 and 6 provides the following guidance on MDM installation for iOS/iPadOS:

  1. In order to use Goodnotes 6, you will need an account on Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager in order to download the app and distribute to your end-users.

  2. You will also need a Mobile Device Management (MDM) software that supports managed app configurations, as we require the managed configuration to support the installation of our License Keys.

Does Jamf Now Support Managed App Configurations?

No, Jamf Now does not have the option to deploy a managed app configuration. Therefore, Jamf Now cannot be used to deploy Goodnotes since it cannot install the licensing plist on iOS/iPadOS managed devices.

You can try reaching out to Goodnotes for alternatives when managed app configuration is not available. Otherwise depending on your organization's needs, Jamf Pro and Jamf School both support managed app configuration.
