When it comes to enterprise activation via EID, the process usually involves provisioning the necessary credentials and settings onto the device's eSIM profile. This can be done either by scanning a QR code provided by the enterprise or by manually entering the required information.
Enterprise activation typically does not require wiping the entire iOS system. Instead, the activation process is usually performed within the device's settings, specifically in the "Cellular" or "Mobile Data" section. This allows for the provisioning of enterprise-specific network settings, security configurations, and other relevant parameters without impacting the rest of the iOS system or user data.
It's worth noting that the exact steps and requirements for enterprise activation via EID can vary depending on the specific enterprise solution or mobile device management (MDM) platform used. Therefore, it is recommended to consult the documentation or support resources provided by your enterprise or MDM provider for detailed instructions on how to activate enterprise services via eSIM without requiring a full iOS wipe.
