Activating iOS devices using Apple Configurator 2

If you have BlackBerry UEM on-premises, you can use Apple Configurator 2 to prepare iOS and iPadOS devices for activation. Users can activate the prepared devices without using the BlackBerry UEM Client. Users require only their username and activation password.

Apple Configurator is not supported by UEM Cloud.

Note: Certain UEM features require you to assign the UEM Client to users. Users must start the UEM Client after they activate the device. For more information, see KB 39313.
