Video Kiosk is licensed on a per device basis, meaning a license must be purchased and activated for each device on which Video Kiosk is used.

How to Purchase

There are three ways to purchase a license:

• In-App purchase through the Google Play Store on the device
• Purchase through our Web Store
• By invoice for volume purchases of 25 or more licenses

Purchase Option 1: In-App purchase and license activation through the Google Play Store

To purchase and activate a license for a device in the App,

1. If you haven’t done so already, get the Video Kiosk app from the Google Play Store on the device
2. Open Video Kiosk.
3. To activate a license for a device, click the Purchase button on the License Activity screen and follow the In-App purchase steps. The purchase is handled through the Google Play Store. The license will automatically be activated when the In-App purchase completes.

Purchase Option 2: Purchase through our Web Store

Purchase and licensing through our Web Store is an easy 3-step process:

1. Decide which license management option you will be using.
2. Purchase Licenses through our Web Store
3. Activate the Licenses

Step 1: Decide on a Volume purchase License Management Option

You can manage your licenses using one of two options:

• Email ID. Add an account (Email ID) to each of your devices or
• License File. Place a license file, that we send to you, on your devices at the path /sdcard/videokiosk.license

Note: Some device firmware does not support adding accounts.  In this case, the Add Account button from the license activity screen will be hidden and you must request a license file from us. The license file contains securely encoded information that identifies your account to the license server and as such should be kept private.

If you’ve decided to use the Email ID option, make sure you can add the account you plan to use to the device before purchasing licenses for the account.

You can add an account in a number of ways. The easiest way is to:

1. Install and open Video Kiosk,
2. Grant the requested permissions,
3. Add the requested account.

Step 2: Purchase Licenses through our Web Store

Before purchasing, determine which license management option you will be using.

To purchase volume licenses, do the following:

1. Go to our Volume Purchase Store.
   To get there,click the Volume Licensing button Volume Licensing found in the left sidebar of every Video Kiosk Page.
2. Enter your license management method.

• If you are using the Email ID License Management Option, choose “Email Account” from the “License By” pop-up menu and enter the Email ID associated with the devices into the “Account” field.

• If you are using the License File License Management Option, choose “License File” from the “License By” pop-up menu.

3. Click the “Buy Now” button to pay using a major credit card or your Paypal account.
4. On the Purchase Screen, enter the number of licenses you’re buying and click the “Continue” button to proceed to the Check Out.
5. Once you have checked out, you will receive an email with the steps to activate the licenses with the License File attached, if applicable, and the licenses will be added to the license server so you can activate them.

Step 3: Activate Volume Licenses

Note: License Activation is done using the License Activity screen on your device. Due to your device’s screen resolution and orientation, it may be that the entire License Activity screen is not visible. If this happens, use touch and swipe up / down to scroll the screen contents.
