Before using Knox Remote Support, check the supported platform and firewall settings. Also make sure that the Knox Remote Support agent on your devices is up-to-date, so that your support sessions work as expected.
Additionally, make sure you have the required licenses and account:
- To use Knox Remote Support, you must have a Knox Suite plan. If a device is already enrolled in services that are a part of Knox Suite, then the device gets enrolled in Knox Remote Support with the Knox Suite license key.
- To access the Devices and Activity Log menus in the Knox Remote Support console, you must be signed in to your Knox account.
