What is the difference between "application mode" and "MDM mode"?

I found that the app can be used in "Application mode" without enrollment. What's this?

The "application mode" means you just install Headwind MDM on the device as a regular APK. This will work on any Android version starting from Android 4. 

To run Headwind MDM in "MDM mode" (or device owner mode), you need to use the enrollment process. This feature is available on Android 7 and above.

The main difference is that in "application mode" the user must confirm every app update or install, there's no "silent" installation. Also, some features like remote reboot and factory reset are not working.

To check in which mode the Headwind MDM launcher is running, open the "Detailed information" plugin:

You will see the list of parameters including "MDM mode". If it is set to yes, you're running the launcher in the MDM mode (or "Device owner" mode) and all features are enabled.
