Purchase or subscribe app on the multi devices with same Apple ID

I am beginner of Apple eco-system, so sorry for that not knowing how account management in Apple works.

To be more specific, I would like to describe what I am trying to do.


At the moment, I am trying to sign in my Apple ID into 40 iPads.

I have already publish a private app with free charge on apple store connect.

I need to install this app to all those 40 iPads.


May I know is that possible and what should I do?

If not, is there any alternative ways to do that?

You can only use your Apple ID to sign into 10 devices/computers, with a maximum of 5 computers.


You need to look into the Business or Educational programs to see if one of them meets your need to use one Apple ID on 40 iPads.

Once that is set up, then you should be able to install the app on the 40 iPads.

Thanks for your response Eric !


Don't know why I successfully signed in to 40 devices with same Apple ID yesterday but this Apple ID didn't enroll into Apple business manager program.

I am afraid I might do something wrong on the set up.


By the way, I still need to install my private app to all my 40 iPads.

Enrolling into Apple business manager seems the only way to do that?

Or can I simply put my app on test flight?
