First step: Enrolling your organization

Before you can use Apple DEP, you must first enroll in the DEP program. To do this, you must first establish an account with Apple for your organization, then sign up for the DEP program. You can begin the process at https://business.apple.com by clicking Enroll now under the sign-in field.

For information on this process, consult Apple’s documentation, which can be found here: https://help.apple.com/businessmanager/#/tes40577306d.

During the enrollment process, Apple will ask for your “D-U-N-S Number”. This is the number assigned to your organization by Dun & Bradstreet. Check with someone in your finance or purchasing department to find this number. Alternatively, you can look it up on the Dun & Bradstreet website: https://www.dandb.com/dunsnumberlookup/.

Once you have an account for your organization, you can purchase Apple devices using your organization's credentials. Administrators can then quickly assign your Apple devices to the applicable MDM servers and easily enroll them in KACE Cloud with Apple DEP.

IMPORTANT: The process of enrolling your organization in Apple’s DEP program can take some time, often as long as two weeks. Once complete, you will be able to continue the process of configuring DEP for your organization.
