Quick Install

Introduction

The Quick Install (or "Userless Install") feature allows the App Store administrator to send a specific URL to an unlimited number of users to install a specific application. Using this URL, the user will be able to install the application without having to first register with the App Store, and onboard the device.

** NOTE **

This feature must be enabled for your account, otherwise the URL will not work for your account. If you would like this feature turned on, please contact sales@app47.com.
