Using a Managed App Configuration Plist, Playlister can auto-activate screens. It does this by cross-referencing an Activation Key and the device Serial Number.
💡 You can get your Activation Key from Playlister Support.
Auto Activation
Any Unactivated Screens with a valid Managed App Configuration will automatically be activated. If a default name is supplied, the Screen in Playlister will use this name.
💡 Activated screens will not be renamed
Identification
Playlister requires that the Managed App Configuration contains the device's Serial Number. This is used to ensure that the Apple TV will stay activated through OS updates and system resets.
💡 If supplied, the Screens Asset Tag will be displayed in the Playlister Screen Manager.
