If you previously purchased redemption codes, you can request to migrate these codes for use with managed distribution if the codes are unredeemed or were redeemed through Apple Configurator 1.x.

Previously purchased redemption codes that have been redeemed by individual users can't be migrated.

Consider the following before you decide if migrating from redemption codes to managed distribution will work for your organization:

Make sure you want all your unredeemed codes or codes redeemed through Apple Configurator 1.x converted to managed distribution before you request migration. If you choose migration, all previously purchased codes must be migrated and all unredeemed codes will be disabled after you convert to managed distribution. If you have unredeemed codes in circulation within your organization, you may want to redeem them, alert users that they won't be available, or delay migration until they have been redeemed.

If you use Apple Configurator for devices that are shared between users, you should upgrade your devices to iOS 9 and Apple Configurator 2 before migrating your redemption codes. This allows you to assign managed licenses directly to devices.

The migration from redemption codes to managed distribution is permanent and cannot be reversed.
