Please note: While our License Keys do not need a reinstallation of the app in order to install effectively, we would encourage all users to ensure they have an appropriate backup in place for their data before completing the deployment. This can be achieved through iCloud Sync, Auto-Backup or a Manual Backup.
After receiving your License Key from our GoodNotes Licensing Team, you may be wondering as to how you can install the key via Jamf Pro using the .plist file found in our MDM Installation Article.
If you'd prefer to consult Jamf's own documentation, the relevant articles for instructions on how install Managed App Configuration can be found here for Jamf Pro.
Alternatively, see below for a step by step instruction on how to install via Jamf Pro:
- In Jamf Pro, click Devices at the top of sidebar and then navigate to Mobile Device Apps.
- Click '+ New' in the top right of the Mobile Device Apps view.
- Choose App Store app or apps purchased in volume and click Next.
- Search for GoodNotes and click Next.
- On the Add an App page, GoodNotes 5 should appear as the first option. Click Add.
- Once in the page New Mobile Device App, ensure your Distribution Method is set to Install Automatically/Prompt Users to Install. Also ensure your Scope tab has the correct Target Mobile Devices set.
- Click on App Configuration and paste the following:
(only the <dict> tag, not the XML content at the top of the example listed here, see below for Jamf Pro example and ensure you change red key information to your own license key)
<dict>
<key>LicenseKey</key>
<string>AAAAAA-BBBBBB-CCCCCC-DDDDDD-123456-V3</string>
<key>GoodnotesVersion</key>
