Licensing of apps for multiple iPads in an enterprise environment

I have 21 iPads in an enterprise environment, syncing to one iPad. Am I violating licensing terms.? These are 21 iPads used by 21 board members on each Friday. Do I need to purchase this app 21 times? If so how?

Yes, you may be. The applicable terms of sale are these:
(ii) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download and sync an App Store Product for use by either (a) a single individual on one or more iOS Devices you own or control or (b) multiple individuals, on a single shared iOS Device you own or control. For example, a single employee may use the Product on both the employee's iPhone and iPad, or multiple students may serially use the Product on a single iPad located at a resource center or library.
If these iPads are under your own control and you just loan them out for the board meetings, then that might fall under clause (a), though I'm no lawyer and I don't speak for Apple.
If these iPads are kept by the board members for their use, then your company needs to purchase the app twenty-one times, and the only way at present to do that is through twenty-one different iTunes Store accounts. So each board member should probably buy through his or her own iTunes Store account, and get reimbursed by the company if appropriate. I know this is awkward; perhaps Apple will come up with a better mechanism in the future.
Regards.

Can anyone tell me how they are handling software distribution for the iPad in an enterprise environment?

The new Business Volume Purchase Program is pretty interesting...it can be used to centrally purchase and distribute paid ( not free) items from the AppStore. We are getting setup to use it. You can keep an eye on licenses etc. You can also use a single centralized form of payment.

TS1702 I have an apple ID for the company but how do use my Itunes and a single id to download and manage multiple copies of the same purchased app for multiple Ipads that I need to support?

Hi,
I am trying to manage a number ipads in the business but I have problems managing the download of apps to multiple ipads using a single copy of Itunes and appleid.
I obviously want purchase correctly the number of copies of the app I require and manage them going forward but the issue I have is that when I try to purchase an additional copy of the app it shows as already purchased and downloaded in my Itunes.
What am i doing wrong or is this a feature?
Any help appreciated.
Chris

Use VPP. Select an MDM. Read the google doc below.

Hi, we are a small clinic that uses the iPads for therapy. If we purchase an app for one iPad, can all of them download the same app at no additional cost?

Allan was somewhat incomplete in his statement. While technically it would be possible, from a licensing standpoint you need one license for each iPad unless those iPads were all going to be used by the same person (which I think unlikely given your described use). Here are the relevant terms of the iTunes Store agreement (emphasis mine):
"(ii) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download and sync an App Store Product for use by either (a) a single individual on one or more iOS Devices used by that individual that you own or control or (b) multiple individuals, on a single shared iOS Device you own or control. For example, a single employee may use an App Store Product on both the employee's iPhone and iPad, or multiple students may serially use an App Store Product on a single iPad located at a resource center or library. For the sake of clarity, each iOS Device used serially by multiple users requires a separate license."
So you would legally need to purchase one copy of the app for each iPad, something which would require an iTunes Store account for each iPad. For normal purchases, each iTunes Store account would need an associated credit card or prepaid iTunes card.
The Volume Purchase Plan works similarly - you still need one license and one iTunes Store account for each iPad - but the purchasing is centralized so you don't get billed multiple times. You get one recemption code for each license you purchase. See:

I am using Numbers app for the ipad and it has been working absolutely fine but now, when I want to email a spreadsheet as a PDF via the 'share and print' option, the file now doesn't appear as an attachment to the recipient. Any ideas please?

Hi mafiose15,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
You can find the instructions in this article:

How can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

I have two iPads.. an iPad and an ipad 2. I registared my new ipad 2 and now my old ipad is will not let me log on and is telling me that my e-mail address is already in use. how can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

And by using the same Apple ID you can also share purchases. If you have a different Apple ID for each iPhone then you can't share purchases.

Is there an app for the ipad that will allow you to access your mac.

Is there an app for the ipad that will allow you to access your mac via wifi or cell network.

Yep, two of the most popular apps are "LogMeIn Ignition" and "iTeleport." Check them out, they'll both set you back by about 30$ though.

HT2534 I have money on my iTunes account. Can I purchase apps for my iPad with this credit?

I have a credit on my iTunes account. Can I purchase apps for my iPad with this credit and how do I do it?

Yes. You can use any funds that you have available in iTunes for the App Store, iTunes, iBooks or the Mac App Store. Just go to the app store and tap on the app that you want to download. If the credit is available, it will be deducted from your account when you make the purchase.
You can swipe to the bottom of the featured tab in the app store to view your account balance.

Where can I download the Apple Podcast app for my iPad?

HELP!!! Where can I download the Apple Podcast app for my iPad? I urgently needed space to snap some photos, so I quickly deleted several low priority apps to make space. One of those was the apple Podcast app which I now can't find anywhere.

There is no Podcasts app that "comes with" the iPad. It is made by Apple but you have to download it. See if this direct link works:

Is there a DJ app for the Ipad that will read the "start" and "stop time" setting for each individual song, as they are set in the song Options screen in Itunes?

Is there a DJ app for the Ipad that will read the "start" and "stop time" setting for each individual song, as they are set in the song Options screen in Itunes? The Ipod Touch, by itself does not allow cross-fading, therefore when the stop time is edited short, the song jusst truncates then goes to the next song. I tried the DJay ap and while it would crossfade, it would NOT read the song settings for the stop marker. So now I want to try and Ipad and see if there is an app that will READ the Itune stop settings within the song. I do NOT want an app that will allow me to DO the stop marker. I want an app that will READ the stop marker from the song as it is set in Itunes.

Itunes provides the option for setting the Start and Stop times of each music track. However, the start and stop times do not synchronize to the iPhone. I don't understand why this option is even available as it doesn't work when listening to music on the phone. I have not found another application that will support the start and stop time markets. I have searched quite a bit for this but can't find anything. I hope we can find something.

Is there an App for the iPad that will show my GPS position on a world map, even if I'm at sea?

There is no mobile data connection required to use GPS on land or sea. Once again your issue is the availability of downloadable maps/charts for the areas you will be traveling.
Sorry, but you can't install an app like NAVIGON on an iPad without 3G cellular data connection:
copied from NAVIGON app:
...can be installed on any iPhone3GS, iPhone4, iPhone4S, iPhone5 or iPad device (the navigation function is only available on the iPad WiFi+3G)
Can I navigate with my mobile phone?
Answer:In principle yes. For mobile phones there are both Onboardnavigation solutions and Offboardnavigation solutions.
The following requirements must be fulfilled:
•     The software must support the mobile phone. NAVIGON software
      always comes with a compatibility list. The software is guaranteed
      to work only for the mobile phones on this list.
•     The mobile phone must have a GPS receiver. Many new mobile
       phones come with a built-in GPS receiver. Otherwise you can use
       an external GPS receiver which is connected to the mobile phone
       by cable or Bluetooth.
•     It should be noted that an offboard solution incurs costs for using
      the mobile phone network to communicate with the provider's server.

I bought "Pages" "Keynote" and "Numbers" Apps for my iPad and iPhone

I bought "Pages" "Keynote" and "Numbers" Apps for my iPad and iPhone and now I have a new iMac but the Apps didn't install? I thought when you bought an App that is on one device it would be available on all other devices? The App store is now wanting me to pay for the Apps again? Is this right? Do I have to buy another version of these Apps for the iMac?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
That is determined by what type of disk that it is. It may be a disk that only allows you to install Windows on your Dell computer and would not allow Windows to be installed on a Boot Camp partitition or as a virtual machine in an app such as VirtualBox on your Mac. If that is the case, you would need to purchase a retail Windows install disk.
