Self-Certified Devices Disclaimer
- As there are a significant number of devices running the operating systems we support and a range of manufacturing standards, we can only assure the compatibility of the OS and the firmware versions that are actively tested by our partner organizations, as listed on this page.
- Reference models are device models that partner organizations have tested in their product engineering labs.
- You may use devices that have similar specifications to the reference models listed, however, we recommend you work with a systems integrator or an Appspace reseller to ensure the target devices are suitable for your deployment type and specific use case. If you do not have such a partner, please contact us and we’ll be happy to make some introductions.
This article provides Administrators with guidance to configure and register self-certified IAdea devices with the Appspace App.
Prerequisites
- An Account Owner or Location Admin user role with the Platform User license assigned.
- Sufficient Device Licenses when registering the device, and Content Licenses if displaying premium content.
