The License Manager is a web application on the developer portal that allows you to create and manage License Keys.
No. Your app will work without an internet connection. However your app will require an internet connection if it is using a cloud database.
Yes. You can use the same License Key for the same app if it is deployed on more than one operating system platform (e.g., Android and iOS). Note that different apps cannot share a License Key.
Yes. You can use the same License Key for mobile, video see-through devices, and optical see-through devices, such as the ODG R-7. Note that different apps cannot share a License Key.
A License Key is required to access the features of the Vuforia Engine for all versions of the SDK.
The cloud database keys are required to access the Cloud Recognition Service.
If you cancel your License Key or your License Key is suspended, new users of your app will not be able to access any Vuforia functionality. Existing users will not be able to access cloud databases. Device databases for existing users will continue to work.
To move from a paid license to a Development license, you should cancel your existing paid License Key and create a new Development License Key. You will then need to replace the paid key in your app with the new Development key.
