Deploy iOS application for one company employees only

Question

I'm developing an iOS application that will be used just by a company employees only (not for distribution on the Apple store), but probably will be used by more than 100 devices. To join “iOS Developer Enterprise Program ($299)” is needed company DUNS Number (I´m not a company, so I don't have one).

So the company that will use the iOS application need to do the registration on “iOS Developer Enterprise Program ($299)” and have a DUNS Number to distribute the app to theirs employees? Or I cant deploy my application on more than 100 devices without the “iOS Developer Enterprise Program ($299)” (without jailbreak) ?

That's correct -- the company will join the Enterprise program and that will give them the right to distribute the app in-house. They can add you to their development team so that you can develop your code using their subscription. In the past, companies had to have something like 500 employees to qualify for the Enterprise program. That limit may have changed by now.

Or I cant deploy my application on more than 100 devices without the “iOS Developer Enterprise Program ($299)” (without jailbreak) ?

Right, and "deploy" isn't quite the right word. With a standard developer account you can test your app on up to 100 devices using 'ad hoc' distribution. That's really not meant to be a means to deploy your app, though, it's intended mainly for testing. For example, you'll probably have to update the app every few months as the provision expires.
