Decide Offline or Online Applications
The MSfB supports two types of application licenses and you should be very careful with the license type of application you want to add. For Offline apps, you don’t need devices Hybrid Azure AD registered or joined.
- Online: Windows 10 devices must be Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)-joined or hybrid Azure AD-joined.
- Offline: Devices don’t need to connect to the store or have a connection to the internet.
NOTE! – If your device is domain joined and it’s not registered with Azure AD, the only option is to use the license type as Offline for apps with Configuration Manager.
