Create a free license

This section is the 2nd step out of the 4 steps to Get Started guide to create a license for developing Desktop AR app using Holo-SDK. By now, you should have a Desktop AR system prepared, if not, please visit the section Setup Desktop AR System.

Get a Free Holo-SDK License for Holo-APP Development

You need a license to develop Holo-APPs. You can generate a free License from the website by following the steps below.

  1. Go to Pricing page.
  2. Scroll down to the bottom of the page.
  3. In Community License, clickGenerate - Free. If you are not logged-in, the website will redirect you to a signup page. If you are already logged-in, the website will create a free license for you and then redirect to to the Manage License page. There, you will find the generated license and the next step is to activate the license for development.

Activate License for Development

To activate the license, you need the Product Name and Company Name in the license activation process. The Product Name and Company Name are a unique identifier for your Unity project. We recommend you use your organization name as your Company Name and the name of your project as Product Name. Now that you are ready, do the following steps to activate your license.

  1. Log into your account and go to Manage License page.
  2. On the Manage License page, select Edit or Activate button of the license you want activate.
  3. On the Activate License page, enter Product Name and Company Name, then click Add or Activate. The system will generate a public key for your project. Copy the key to a safe place on your computer as you will need the key in to run your project in Unity in the upcoming section.

You can always come back and regenerate a new key in case you have lost it. If you regenerate a new key, the previous key will be expired. Note that a Holo-APP does not work with an expired license key.

Now that we have a public key for your project. The next step is to create a Holo-APP project in Unity. You are now ready to go onto the next section.
