Important

For organizations using Unlimited, Performance, and Developer Editions, Salesforce provides a mobile license for each Salesforce license and the Mobile User checkbox is enabled by default for all users. Organizations using Professional or Enterprise Editions must purchase mobile licenses separately and allocate them manually.

The Mobile User checkbox is disabled by default for new Performance Edition users.

Note

To prevent users from activating Salesforce Mobile Classic on their mobile devices before you’re ready to deploy the app, disable the Mobile User checkbox for all your users.
