Manager Advanced overview

Manager Advanced is an add-on (licensed-based) service that unlocks access to a more powerful set of management tools. Apply a Manager Advanced license to a device to enable additional commands that can be sent to that device. Note the following behavior:


  • Licenses for Manager Advanced are associated with the entity's account and not individual devices. 
  • Licenses are applied to devices, and these licenses can be moved between devices. 
  • Entities select a device to apply a license to, especially if the device need a very specific feature. 
  • Entities must ensure that they purchase the correct number of licenses that meet their requirements.
