How Device Enrollment Works
Three steps to get any Android device under management
Create Enrollment Token
Create a policy then generate a QR code in your console. Choose between Fully Managed, Dedicated, BYOD, or COPE mode.
Choose your enrollment type →Scan & Enroll Device
During device setup, scan the QR code. The device auto-configures with your policies and apps.
See methods →Manage from Dashboard
Monitor status, send commands (lock, wipe, restart), deploy apps, and enforce policies.

Why Android Management API?
AndroidNexus uses Google's Android Management API (AMAPI) — the modern, recommended approach for Android enterprise management. Custom DPCs are deprecated and losing feature support.
Google-Backed
Direct integration with Google's enterprise infrastructure
Automatic Updates
New Android features without app updates
Zero-touch Ready
Enterprise-grade out-of-box enrollment
Google no longer accepts new custom DPC registrations and recommends AMAPI for all Android enterprise deployments. Features marked ✗ require custom workarounds or are unavailable in custom DPC implementations. Learn about DPC migration →
