iOS Device Enrollment

Follow the steps below to enroll an iOS device in ESET PROTECT:

The enrolled mobile devices must connect to ESET PROTECT every 120 days to prevent connection problems. You can see this information in the link from the enrollment email or QR code.

Do not enroll a spare device in advance. We recommend only enrolling a spare device that will be used within 120 days.

ESET PROTECT now manages the mobile device. The enrollment profile allows you to configure devices and set security policies for users or groups. The profile details are in the Settings app > General > VPN & Device Management.

Profile installation failed

When the profile installation fails on an iOS/Apple device, ensure no other related profile is installed.

Remove the enrollment profile

To remove the enrollment profile, open the Settings app > General > VPN & Device Management > tap Remove Management.


important

Removing the enrollment profile removes all company settings (Mail, Calendar, Contacts, etc.) and the iOS mobile device from management. The device stops connecting to ESET PROTECT, and the device's status changes to a warning sign validation-status-icon-warning and then a red alert validation-status-icon-error after 14 days.
