Deploying MacWhisper with MDM

If you are planning to distribute MacWhisper across your organisation through MDM you can use our simple info.plist method. If a user has a MacWhisper license file at the following location they will be automatically be validated on launch.

~/Library/Application\ Support/MacWhisper/mdmlicense.plist

The info.plist format is as follows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>licenseKey</key>
<string>LICENSEKEYHERE</string>
<key>allowsRemoteTranslation</key>
<true/>
<key>allowsAddingAIServices</key>
<true/>
<key>allowsCloudTranscription</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>

The following fields can be adjusted ad must all be in the plist file.
