FAQ
Why do I need a license key?
The License Key is used for device identity authentication and secure access. After a one-time purchase, each device has a unique License for identification.
Do I need a license key to connect to other cloud services?
No. TuyaOpen will support more IoT or AI cloud services in the future, and the authentication mechanism will be adapted according to each direct connection provider's requirements.
Is the project billed monthly?
No. All fees are for the one-time purchase of a module cloud License Key per connected device, not a monthly subscription.
What does the Free plan include?
The Free plan provides basic features and an IoT OS framework supporting multiple chip platforms, ideal for evaluation or small custom projects.
Can I upgrade or downgrade the license key capability at any time?
Yes. Different license keys can be flashed to the chip device at any time, but each license key is for a single device only and cannot be shared.

Yes. We offer exclusive discounts for startups, educational institutions, and non-profits. Please contact us for details.
