Android management API for internal use

Hello,

 

I was looking into options for internal use on how to manage enterprise devices and the documentation seems to point to the android management API.

 

What was not very clear to me:

  1. Is there any pricing model documented for using the API ? As mentioned, it would be for internal use
  2. Does this require to be registered as an EMM provider, even if it would be used internally

Appreciate any inputs, thanks!

    Following up on this, the recommended enterprise enrolment is using the Android Management API, it is free of charge but it requires product validation and joining EMM community starting with a given number of devices.


    I'd encourage review of permissible use: 

    https://developers.google.com/android/management/permissible-usage

     

    Internal-only applications fall foul of this, as Google expects folks to build commercially available solutions.

    Hello,

    The Android Management API is completely free to use.

    But there are limitations regarding number of decice s unless you go through product validation as explained here. https://developers.google.com/android/work/release-solution

    Thanks for the follow up.

    So even for only private internal use, the process is the same as described there, where you need to submit the solution and pass the production validation to join the EMM community, is that correct ?
