You can manage all apps that you've acquired on your **Inventory** page.
You can manage all apps that you've acquired on your **Apps & software** page.
The **Inventory** page in Windows Store for Business shows all apps in your inventory. This includes all apps that you've acquired from Store for Business, and the line-of-business (LOB) apps that you've accepted into your inventory. After LOB apps are submitted to your organization, you'll see a notification on your **Inventory** page. On the **New line-of-business apps** page, you can accept, or reject the LOB apps. For more information on LOB apps, see [Working with line-of-business apps](working-with-line-of-business-apps.md). The inventory page includes apps acquired by all people in your organization with the Store for Business Admin role.
**Apps & software** shows content you've acquired. This includes all apps that you've acquired from Microsoft Store, and the line-of-business (LOB) apps that you've accepted into your inventory. After LOB apps are submitted to your organization, you'll see a notification on your **Apps & software** page. On the **New LOB apps** tab, you can accept, or reject the LOB apps. For more information on LOB apps, see [Working with line-of-business apps](working-with-line-of-business-apps.md). The inventory page includes apps acquired by all people in your organization with the Store for Business Admin role.
All of these apps are treated the same once they are in your inventory and you can perform app lifecycle tasks for them: distribute apps, add apps to private store, review license details, and reclaim app licenses.

Each app in the Store for Business has an online, or an offline license. For more information on Store for Business licensing model, see [Apps in the Windows Store for Business](apps-in-windows-store-for-business.md#licensing-model). There are different actions you can take depending on the app license type. They're summarized in this table.

The actions in the table are how you distribute apps, and manage app licenses. We'll cover those in the next sections. Working with offline-licensed apps has different steps. For more information on distributing offline-licensed apps, see [Distribute offline apps](distribute-offline-apps.md).
### Distribute apps
## Distribute apps
For online-licensed apps, there are a couple of ways to distribute apps from your inventory:
- Assign apps to people in your organization.
- Add apps to your private store, and let people in your organization install the app.
If you use a management tool that supports Store for Business, you can distribute apps with your management tool. Once it is configured to work with Store for Business, your managment tool will have access to all apps in your inventory. For more information, see [Distribute apps with a management tool](distribute-apps-with-management-tool.md).
If you use a management tool that supports Microsoft Store, you can distribute apps with your management tool. Once it is configured to work with Store for Business, your managment tool will have access to all apps in your inventory. For more information, see [Distribute apps with a management tool](distribute-apps-with-management-tool.md).
Once an app is in your private store, people in your org can install the app on their devices. For more information, see [Distribute apps using your private store](distribute-apps-from-your-private-store.md).

Offline licensing is a new feature in Windows 10 and allows apps to be deployed to devices that are not connected to the Internet. This means organizations can deploy apps when users or devices do not have connectivity to the Store.
You can download offline-licensed apps from your inventory. You'll need to download these items:
- App metadata
- App package
- App license
- App framework

Once synchronized from Store for Business, management tools use the Windows Management framework to distribute applications to devices. For Online licensed applications, the management tool calls back in to Store for Business management services to assign an application prior to issuing the policy to install the application.

Offline licensing is a new licensing option for Windows 10 Store for Business. With offline licenses, organizations can download apps and their licenses to deploy within their network, or on devices that are not connected to the Internet. ISVs or devs can opt-in their apps for offline licensing when they submit them to the Windows Dev Center. Only apps that are opted in to offline licensing will show that they are available for offline licensing in the Windows Store for Business. This model means organizations can deploy apps when users or devices do not have connectivity to the Store.

Offline-licensed apps offer an alternative to online apps, and provide additional deployment options. Some reasons to use offline-licensed apps include:
- **You don't have access to Windows Store services** - If your employees don't have access to the internet and Windows Store services, downloading offline-licensed apps and deploying them with imaging is an alternative to online-licensed apps.
- **You don't have access to Windows Store services** - If your employees don't have access to the internet and Microsoft Store services, downloading offline-licensed apps and deploying them with imaging is an alternative to online-licensed apps.
- **You use imaging to manage devices in your organization** - Offline-licensed apps can be added to images and deployed with Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM), or Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer (ICD).
- **Your employees do not have Azure Active Directory (AD) accounts** - Azure AD accounts are required for employees that install apps assigned to them from Store for Business or that claim apps from a private store.

- **Deployment Image Servicing and Management**. DISM is a command-line tool that is used to mount and service Microsoft Windows images before deployment. You can also use DISM to install, uninstall, configure, and update Windows features, packages, drivers, and international settings in a .wim file or VHD using the DISM servicing commands. DISM commands are used on offline images.

Your company or school can make line-of-business (LOB) applications available through Microsoft Store for Business or Microsoft Store for Education. These apps are custom to your school or organization – they might be internal apps, or apps specific to your school,business, or industry.
Developers within your own company, or ISVs that you invite, can become LOB publishers and submit apps to the Windows Store for your company. Once a LOB publisher submits an app for your company, the app is only available to your company. LOB publishers submit apps through the Windows Dev Center using the same process as all apps that are in the Store, and then can be managed or deployed using the same process as any other app that has been acquired through the Store.

One advantage of making apps available through Store for Business is that the app has been signed by the Store, and uses the standard Store policies.
