Get a license

You can generate a license yourself for free products from the Knox developer portal. Or you can buy Knox licenses from Knox license resellers for paid products.

Generate license

To get a license yourself, you can either generate one or register one.

Generate your license

To generate a license key:

1. Sign in to the Knox Developer portal.
2. In the navigation pane, select My license keys > Add License Key > Get a license key.



3. Select the type of license key you want.

   • Development Key — If you're testing your app.
   • Commercial Key — If you're ready to deploy your app.
   • Backwards Compatible Key — If the app you're deploying is for Android devices running on Knox 2.7 or earlier, or for any Tizen device. Or if your license is legacy KPE Premium (KLM03, KLM06).
   • VENDOR_UNIQUE ATTESTATION KEY — If you're using the Knox Attestation REST APIs.
