I work in a big company and we have the enterprise count. I build a private iPhone program and successful make a enterprise distribution with ad hoc. So I can delivery the program to 100 devices without the app Store.

But someone say to me that I can delivery to a infinite number of iphone without using the app store. Is it possible?

If not, and if my program will be used to more than 100 iPhones, what can i do? What choice I have?

With or without an enterprise account, as an iOS developer you can distribute your app wirelessly via a custom webpage.

  • iOS Developer Library: http://developer.apple.com

The 100 device limit only affects regular developer accounts.

Yes. The whole point of the enterprise developer program is that it lets large organizations distribute in-house apps without having to go through the App Store. You're not limited in the number of devices that you can distribute to. However, you should read the enterprise program license carefully -- I believe it contains terms that say, essentially, that you're only allowed to distribute within your organization. That is, you can't get an enterprise license and then start distributing your apps publicly.
