How to obtain the eSIM EID (Embedded Identification Document) from a device with DO (Device Owner) active?
I was sure it was there, but just performed an export and its indeed missing for Android devices. But it shows for Apple devices when exporting from Knox Manage. Strange thing.
i'm sorry, really hoped to give you a solution.
When getting the list from your supplier, you have to make sure that the list contains IMEI en EID combined, that way you should be able to match them.
As a service to our customers, we provide assistance with E-SIM activation by scanning the QR code for them before shipping the device. The customer has access to a carrier portal where that can be generated. That works for our customers very well.
I see. Regarding the EID being combined with the IMEI, for now, I’m not considering going that route because, from what I understand, an EID isn’t necessarily linked to an IMEI (physical SIM), especially since we may have devices that only support eSIM without a physical SIM, meaning there wouldn’t be an IMEI. At least that’s what I’ve understood so far. Please correct me if I’m wrong about this.
eSIM also has an IMEI number. IMEI is used as a unique identifier such as a MAC address on network cards so i'm almost sure smartphones without physical sim have an IMEI as well.

But keep in mind, i'm on unknown territories here haha, I have to rely on articles such as the link.
