Enrolling a Device in DO Mode

For each of your mobile devices to be associated with your FocusMDM workspace, you need to have the devices to physically complete the DO enrollment.
There are 2 options:

  1. Use a QR Code

  2. Use the DPC identifier


Note

Enrolling a device where the FocusMDM is the Device Owner of the device only works for devices with Android 6.0 or higher.

To enroll as DO using the QR Code, the device must be Android 7.0 or higher. Using the DPC identifier is the option for devices running Android 6.0
