Definition
DPLA §1: ““Authorized Test Units” means Apple-branded hardware units owned or controlled by You that have been designated by You for Your own testing and development purposes under this Program”.
Counting rules
A Provisioning Profile may be installed on each Authorized Test Unit “up to the number of Authorized Test Units that You have registered and acquired licenses for” (§2.1(c)). Units running pre-release software are restricted to Authorized Developers (§2.2). The Xcode and Apple SDKs Agreement lets Apple limit test units provisioned without a membership (§2.2B).
