      Centralized Distribution - Hexnode UEM

      • 2 Minutes to read
        Article summary

        NordLayer can be conveniently distributed across devices and OS platforms using Hexnode MDM.

        (optional) Upload the NordLayer Installation Package

        In this guide, you'll upload the NordLayer file, which will then be available on the Hexnode UEM platform. From there, it can be pushed to all devices through centralized distribution.

        Please note

        You may skip this step, but doing so means the NordLayer version you download might have been uploaded by other users. This could result in compatibility issues or an outdated app. If you decide to skip, ensure you update NordLayer on each downloaded device, or consider uploading the latest version yourself.

        You can download the files here:
