Windows Live Accounts for Company Phones?

Question

Hi all,
I am hoping you can help.
At the company I work for we are enrolling Windows Phones as the Business phone but to get our Mobile Device management Software on we need access to the Windows Store.
I only need the Live accounts for the store. The users do not need individual Windows Live Accounts
I was wondering what is the best way to sign up 20+ phones so they can get apps from the store?
Any help would be appreciative
Thanks in advance,
Alex

The Windows Phone Store does require a Microsoft Account(MSA) to download apps. This can be either the end user's MSA or a company issued MSA. All MSA's have a 5 device limit on Windows Phone. If you plan to create your own MSAs, note the following:
Currently there is a limit that only 3 Microsoft Accounts can be created per day from the same IP Address.  You can request an exception by using the following form:

To submit a whitelist a request please have the following information available:
• Contact Name
• Contact email address
• Customer Name
• Customer Company Name
• Microsoft program the customer needs the exception for
• Company Domain(s)
• Public IP Address(es)
Temporary whitelisting of an IP lasts for 30 days. Whitelisting requests should be within 30 days of the final day of the planned event, but not any sooner, to make sure the IPs in question remain whitelisted through the entirety
of the event.
