Apple Volume Purchase Program
Education institutions must purchase apps for each device the app is installed on
When purchasing apps through iTunes with a normal iTunes account, you will find that the next time you download it, the app store will not ask you to pay for it
To bypass this and stay in compliance with purchasing requirements, schools can signup for the Apple Volume Purchase Program at apple.com/itunes/education
Through the VPP, schools can purchase 1-19 copies of an app for the regular price. Once you purchase 20, subsequent purchases of that app are 1/2 off.

Apple Volume Purchase Program
• There are 3 levels to the VPP
• Authorized purchaser (usually a business
manager): purchases a voucher for any amount
• Program facilitator (team member): logs onto
apple.com/ itunes/education and purchases
apps thru voucher system. Gets redemption codes
.
• End user (teacher): Downloads app onto the
computer/syncs with devices using redemption code
• Apple VPP Webinar on Tuesdays or Thursdays
