Body
The Utah NASPO state contract agreement restricts standalone software products with Apple. This prevents us from purchasing the Pro Bundle separate from being preloaded on a machine. So to get the educational pricing for the FinalCut the Apple Pro bundle for education it must be purchased with a computer. This is a savings of 2/3 the Cost.
Below is the process for conversion to manage distribution inside of Apple School Manager and our Linked MDM JAMF. This is an edit of the instructions that I got from Apple after multiple emails.
Please be advised that once the codes are redeemed or the apps are accepted we can no longer exchange them for managed licenses. I.e. if someone signs into a machine with Apple account, the licenses will get assigned to that individual and we will not be able to manage them as institution. So this process must occur before giving the computer to the user.

• A spreadsheet or PDF with all the serial numbers of Macs with the Pro Apps pre-installed.
This is an edit of the instructions that I got from them after multiple emails because the original text had you looking for serial numbers to the pro apps versus the computer that the Pro Apps were pre-installed on.
