## Guide for Horizon Managed Services Users:

# Switching Device Management to ACTIVATE MDM Lite

# ACTIVATE MDM LITE | Mobile Device Management

## What Horizon Managed Services (HMS) users need to know:

As of February 20, 2026, Meta Horizon Managed Services (HMS) is free and remains the required pathway to enroll/activate Meta Quest devices. Meta has also stated HMS will run in maintenance mode until January 4, 2030. After enrollment, day-to-day fleet management is handled through a third-party MDM.

## What this means: If you’re managing a Quest fleet, you should plan to

transition your day-to-day device management to a third-party MDM sooner rather than later. “Maintenance mode” generally indicates no new features and only limited updates over time. To ensure stability, reliable kiosk mode, and timely content updates, a fully-featured MDM is essential.

# What is ACTIVATE MDM LITE ?

ACTIVATE MDM Lite is SkillsVR’s free device management tool for VR headsets, the single place you go to keep a fleet set up the same way, updated, secure, and ready for training, without touching every headset one by one.

Currently, HMS is still used to enroll Quest devices-after that, you need a third-party MDM for day-to-day management, and that’s where ACTIVATE MDM Lite comes in.

## ACTIVATE MDM Lite helps you:

- Get headsets ready faster (less setup before each rollout)
- Reduce day-to-day admin (fewer manual fixes and repeat tasks)
- Keep training consistent across sites and sessions
- Avoid last-minute issues (updates and settings are controlled)
- See what’s going on across your fleet (which headsets are ready, offline, or need attention)

# What you can do in ACTIVATE MDM LITE

After switching, you can manage your Quest fleet from one place:

- **Send apps and training content to headsets**
- **Set up Wi-Fi remotely (so devices work on arrival)**
- **Keep device settings consistent across your fleet**
- **Control firmware updates (so nothing breaks before training)**
- **Check device status across sites (and location where enabled)**
- **Control who can do what with admin roles and permissions**
