This guide explains what a license key is, where to find it and how to activate your Aura Air device during the app setup process.
What Is a License Key?
A license key is a unique activation code that connects your Aura Air device to the Aura App, enabling full monitoring, analytics and smart air purification functionality.
Every Aura Air device comes with its own license key.
When Do You Need a License Key?
You will need to enter a license key when:
- Setting up a new Aura Air device for the first time
- Installing a replacement filter
- Your current license has expired
- Reactivating a device that was deactivated
Where Can You Find Your License Key?
Your license key can be found in two places:
- Welcome email: Your Aura Air welcome email.
- Device box: The license key is printed on the packaging of your Aura Air device.
Keep your welcome email handy during setup.
If you ordered multiple devices, each key in the table corresponds to one device.
