Configure the Subscription Settings and App Management Service Applications (SharePoint 2019)

You will need an active App Catalog to install ShortPoint on your SharePoint 2019 Farm Server. To set up an App Catalog, the first step you need to do is to configure the subscription settings service application and the app management service application. This article will walk you through the two parts you must accomplish to configure these subscription settings.
