What’s changed
Samsung now provides KPE Premium Licenses to all customers at no cost. See the announcement here: https://www.samsungknox.com/en/blog/knox-platform-for-enterprise-free-for-customers
Customer impact
- Effective 10.83, MaaS360 removes the policy setting Samsung Knox License (SKL) from the MDM policies.
- Customers who have already activated KPE Premium licenses through the MaaS360 Security policies must upgrade to the MaaS360 for Android app version 7.55 to avoid unexpected issues that might lead to re-enrollment of devices or license expiration error messages.
- Customers should use Samsung’s OEMConfig app - Knox Service Plugin (KSP) to activate KPE Premium licenses through the MaaS360 Portal. For more information on deploying OEMConfig apps through the MaaS360 portal, see https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/maas360?topic=security-using-oemconfig-apps-apply-advanced-device-configuration-policies-in-maas360
