Important notes

Apple set the grace period for prolonging the customer’s Apple Push Certificates to a maximum of 30 days. If this period is reached the certificate cannot be prolonged / renewed anymore. As a result devices enrolled with this certificate will not be able to connect and cannot be managed anymore.
A re-enrollment or even a factory reset of devices might be necessary.
Please note, that it is the customer’s responsibility to renew their certificate in time. IKARUS is not able to provide support if the customer’s certificate has expired.
