License Manager
Each application that you create using Vuforia requires a License Key. These License keys are free for development.
In the License Manager page, Develop > License Manager select Get Development Key
Enter a License name (usually the name of your application).
Figure 0.1.1 - Adding a Development Key
Note that this is a free development key and for apps that are not monetised. If you wish to create a monetised app, select Buy Development Key
Once you have created a license key, they are stored within the License Manager. Click on the License Name to access the license key.
Target Manager
Targets refer to objects which your application will recognise. You can create a database with several targets, so that when each of those targets are recognised, different content can be displayed.
In the Target Manager page, Develop > Target Manager select Add Database
Enter a Database name (usually the name of your application) and select Device as the Database type.

Adding Targets
Targets can refer to images or 3D objects. To add targets to your database, click Add Target
In the modal pop-up window:
Figure 2.1 - Adding Targets to the Target Database
Select a Target Type (Images are generally the easiest to work with)
Upload the selected file; and
Enter any other required parameters such as dimensions
Once the target has been uploaded, the target should have received a star rating. Click refresh on the bottom right of screen if the target has not received a rating.
Figure 2.1.1 - Rating Targets
The star rating refers to how many tracking features a particular target contains. We recommended to only use targets with a rating of four stars or more.
By clicking on the particular target name, you can view the number and location of tracking features.
