This topic describes the cloud license and advanced features as well as related processes.
The cloud license is a secured encryption certificate issued by Tuya for smart devices. Each device has a unique license. With the license, smart devices can be connected to the cloud and use the cloud services.
The cloud license supports three delivery modes:
Credential: You can use the production tools provided by Tuya or developed based on the Tuya SDK. They help write the license to a specified number of devices. If the license contains firmware and authorization information, select Credential as the delivery mode.
Credential (Authorization Only): You can use the production tools provided by Tuya or developed based on the Tuya SDK. They help write the license to a specified number of devices. If the license only contains authorization information, select Credential (Authorization Only) as the delivery mode.
License List: Get the list of cloud licenses including UUID and AuthKey information, and write them to the devices one by one with your tools. The premise is that when selecting the delivery mode, you select License List from the Delivery Mode drop-down list.
Note: When you purchase the license separately or together with the chip, you need to select the parameters of the cloud license, such as the applicable category, communication method, and type.
