Question

This question relates to the Apple iOS Developer Enterprise Program

I am trying to determine the limits and relationships between the following 4 entities: Apple Enterprise Program distribution licenses, DUNS numbers, distribution certificates, and apps.

Here’s the scenario: a client wants to develop iPad apps for in-house distribution. This client does not want to go begging to another department head every time he wants to update or release an app, so he wants control of the distribution preocess. Is it possible for him to have his “own” department-level enterprise license or can he have a separate enterprise distribution certificate under the (presumably single) enterprise license?
Further, is there any limit to the number of apps that can be distributed in-house under a)an enterprise license, or b)a distribution certificate.

So this boils down to:

1. Can an enterprise have more than one enterprise license? For example, could 2 departments each have their own enterprise developer license?
2. Can a single enterprise license have more than one distribution certificate?
3. Can a single enterprise distribution certificate apply to more than one app?

Edit: you can skip the dialogue below; just go straight to the answer

Answer 1

I posed these questions to Apple developer relations

1. Can an enterprise have more than one enterprise license? For example, could 2 departments each have their own enterprise license?

2. Can a single enterprise license have more than one distribution certificate?

3. Can a single enterprise distribution certificate apply to more than one app?

I got this response

• A single organization can enroll in up to five iOS Developer Enterprise Programs.  
• Multiple Enterprise distribution provisioning profiles can be created.
• Each Enterprise distribution provisioning profile can only be associated with one App ID.*

Edit: and this response…

• Two enterprise distribution certificate can be created at a time.
• A single enterprise distribution certificate can apply to multiple apps.

and then this response:

Each iOS Developer Enterprise license is completely separate with different distribution certificates. If a company enrolls in five enterprise programs, they will be able to create five different distribution certificates.
