If Apple School Manager asks you to approve new terms and conditions

Apple sometimes updates the macOS, iOS, iPadOS, visionOS or tvOS Software Licence Agreement, often when releasing a new OS version. When a Software Licence Agreement is updated, an Apple School Manager Administrator must sign in to the programme web portal to review and agree to the updated terms.

About Administrators

The person who completes the initial programme enrolment also accepts the following Terms and Conditions on behalf of the enroling organisation:

  • Apple School Manager Agreement

  • macOS Software Licence Agreement

  • iOS and iPadOS Software Licence Agreement

  • visionOS Software Licence Agreement

  • tvOS Software Licence Agreement

Apple School Manager Administrators

After completing enrolment in Apple School Manager, this person will have the role of Administrator and can designate up to four additional Administrators.

Accepting updated agreements

After Apple updates one of these agreements, an Apple School Manager Administrator must sign in to the programme website to accept any new agreements.

If you don’t accept the agreements

If you don't accept the agreements, devices assigned to a device management service in Apple School Manager won’t be affected. If you erase all content and settings on a device, the device is still assigned to the same device management service and the same settings are applied during setup.

However, these conditions will apply until the new agreements have been accepted:

  • Instructors and managers can reset user passwords and send or print login information, but other site functions will be disabled.

  • You can’t assign new devices to your device management service, even if you have selected the option to automatically assign new purchases to a specific device management service.

  • Your device management service might report an error message such as 403 T_C_NOT_SIGNED when communicating with Apple’s device management servers.

  • Schoolwork users won’t be able to create, update or delete classes.
