If you own an Interactive Flat Panel (IFP) device and need to verify its EDLA (Enterprise Device Licensing Agreement) certification, this guide will help you through the process. EDLA certification ensures that an IFP device meets Google’s enterprise requirements for security, Google Play services, and Android Enterprise management.
Why is EDLA Certification Important?
EDLA certification ensures that your IFP device:
- Supports Google Mobile Services (GMS), including Google Play, Google Drive, and Google Assistant.
- Has enterprise-level security and meets Google’s compliance requirements.
- Can receive official software updates.
- Is eligible for Android Enterprise features, including managed device enrollment.
If your device is not EDLA-certified, it may not have access to essential Google services and security updates, which can limit its functionality.
Steps to Check EDLA Certification on Your IFP Device
Method 1: Checking in the Device Settings
- Power on your IFP device and ensure it is connected to the internet.
- Go to the Settings menu – this can usually be accessed via the home screen or by swiping down and selecting the settings gear icon.
- Find the “About Device” or “About Tablet” section – this is typically under “System” or “Device Information.”
- Look for the “Google Certification” or “EDLA Certification” status – some IFPs display this information directly in the system settings.
- If you see a “Certified” label under Google Play or EDLA certification, your device is approved by Google. If not, it may not be officially recognized as EDLA-certified.
Method 2: Verifying Certification via Google Play
- Open the Google Play Store on your IFP device.
- Tap on your profile icon (top-right corner).
- Navigate to Settings > About.
- Scroll down to find “Play Protect Certification” status.
- If it says “Device is certified”, your device meets Google’s EDLA certification requirements. If it says “Device is not certified”, your IFP may not be authorized to use Google services fully.
Method 3: Checking on Google’s EDLA Partner List
- Visit Google’s official EDLA certification website.
- Search for your IFP and model in the list of certified devices.
- If your device is listed, it is officially EDLA-certified. If not, it may be uncertified or pending approval.
What to Do If Your Device Is Not Certified?
If your IFP device does not have EDLA certification, consider the following:
- Check for updates – newer software versions might include EDLA certification.
- Use an alternative device – if certification is required for enterprise use, you may need a different IFP model.
By following these steps, you can easily check if your IFP device has EDLA certification and ensure it meets Google’s enterprise standards.
