Get started with UAT

If you are an existing customer with active Samsung Knox account, you will need to register once again for UAT as it is a separate isolated environment. Ensure to use the same email addressed you have used in the production environment to register for UAT, so that your account approval can be expedited.

UAT environment can be distinguished by its URL which will always include uat in the URL path. For example:

uat-central.samsungknox.com

Once you register for the Knox UAT environment, you can continue to access even after the production release. You will not have to register again for the next UAT period and can continue to test with the enrolled devices in UAT.

Create your Knox account for UAT

1. Go to https://uat-www2.samsungknox.com/en/register.
2. Follow the instructions in Create a Samsung Knox account. Make sure to reuse the email address you registered for the production instance, so that the Samsung team can expedite your approval.
3. Wait for approval from the Samsung team. You will be notified by email once your account is approved and ready for use.

Manage your license

When you register for UAT Knox Admin Portal, a trial Knox Suite license key is automatically generated. If you want to generate the trial license keys for any individual Knox solutions, you can generate them from their respective console. Note that the trial license key for UAT:

• Has maximum of 10 seats
• Is valid for 1 year (12 months)
• Can’t be used in any Knox production environment.

Check your license

After your trial license key is automatically generated, please verify that your trial license is properly applied:

• On the Knox Admin Portal, go to Licenses and confirm that the new Knox Suite trial license is present in your list of licenses.

For more help with administering your licenses, see Manage Knox licenses in the Knox Admin Portal documentation.

Upload your devices

1. (Preferred) You can simply raise a ticket to have us upload the devices for you — just provide us the device IMEIs or serial number. Please follow the regular process of submitting support tickets. Ensure to include [UAT] in the ticket subject/title.
