Managing Your Magic Leap 2 License – Care | Magic Leap

If you purchased a Developer Pro or Enterprise edition Magic Leap 2, you will be sent a license key(s) to activate features exclusive to those editions. This key, or set of keys, will be sent in a separate email from your order email.

License Types

There are two types of licenses available for Magic Leap 2. Both licenses offer access to the same set of additional features - learn more on our where to buy page. The key differences between the license types are below. Customers purchasing a Developer Pro or Enterprise Magic Leap 2 are sent a corresponding license with their purchase. Customers who purchased a Magic Leap 2 without a license can purchase a license key through their reseller.

Enterprise

Enterprise licenses come in two varieties:

as a perpetual license, your license continues in effect unless the Software License is terminated pursuant to Section 11 of the Software License
as a subscription license, your license is valid valid for two years

Developer Pro

A Developer Pro license is available only as a perpetual license. Devices with a Developer Pro license cannot be used in commercial settings.

Activating Your License on Device

Once you've set up your device and received your key, you can activate your license. From the app launcher, go to "Settings > About > License". You'll be presented with a dropdown to select your license type, as well as a field to enter your key. Enter your 16-character license key in the input field and click the "Activate License" button. If you have selected the wrong type of license in the drop-down menu, you'll receive an error message. If you've entered a valid license key, a dialog will pop-up stating the device will restart. Upon the device restarting, your license should now be active.
