App test licenses (for developers)

This article covers the following topics:

Introduction

In order for an App developer to test and evaluate an App prior to validation, a dedicated App test license shall be created. With such App test license, it is possible to install and run a non-validated App either in ETS5 or in ETS6.

ETS5/ETS6 must be licensed in order to run any ETS App (at least ETS lite).

For dongle-based test license : Each App test license is created for a specific ETS App and bound to a Dongle ID, and expires after 30 days. You can however re-generate it as many times as you need for testing. If a tester is removed from the organization, their license will expire automatically after the expiry date.

For cloud-based test license : The App test license is created and bound to a MyKNX username, remaining active for 30 days and automatically reactivating every 30 days. If a tester is removed from the organization, their license will expire automatically after the expiry date. Users also have the option to manually delete the Tester license via the MyKNX Account under "Device Testers."

There is no need to download any license from the MyKNX account, as the cloud license is automatically prolonged with the user account.

In order to use such App test license, follow according to the ETS version one of these procedures:
