The SoftwareCentral Shop is accessible from cloud devices enrolled in Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Intune).

Users can order applications from Intune and Custom Shop Items.

Applications and Shop Items can be delegated to the users based on their AD-Group memberships, just like regular packages and applications.

For users to access the shop with their Intune enrolled devices, the following settings must be set in SoftwareCentral:

• Currently only Windows devices are supported.
• SoftwareCentral must be configured to communicate with your Intune tenant as an application. See Intune Configuration [DEPRECATED] for details.
• The SoftwareCentral Shop must be configured to "Only use SoftwareCentral Client".
• If your users are not accessing the shop over a VPN, the following must also be configured:
  • The SoftwareCentral website must be accessible for users outside of your organization.
  • The SoftwareCentral Client must be deployed locally to the users devices.
  • The URI Scheme must point to the local path where the SoftwareCentral Client is installed. Use the PowerShell script below to register the client.
• To get a single-sign-on experience, users must sign on to their devices with an account that exists in the local Active Directory. Note that this is not a requirement.

# Set the path to the client
$pathToClient = "C:\SoftwareCentral\SoftwareCentralClient.exe"
# Add the client to the URI Schema
$registryPath = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Classes\SoftwareCentral"
