Hello,

I've upgraded to the pro plan now and generated an A-GPS service key, however I'm a bit unsure about the first step "Configure your service key.". Should that file contain all of this:
-----BEGIN EC PARAMETERS-----
xxx
-----END EC PARAMETERS-----
-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----
xxx
-----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----

Or only:

-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----
xxx
-----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----

Thanks!

Hi,

It is possible, but I cannot remember if it is mandatory to fill in company information. You can just fill in freelancer if it is required.

Let me know if you have any trouble getting the Pro plan. Good luck!

Best regards,

Charlie

Hi Charlie,

Thanks for your reply.

Is it possible to join the Pro plan without being affiliated with a company?

Thanks!

Hi,

The AWS Cloud instance does not have an implementation to use the evaluation key.

You can use the evaluation key to play with nRF9160 samples, but when it comes to custom cloud solutions, you need to join Pro or Enterprise plans and start to use a more secure JWT generated with a service key.

We published a guide on this topic yesterday, you can find the process to generate JWT with a service key.
