Creating Package Keys

A Package Key is generated when you create an application and associate it with one or more Packages. Refer to Applications for more information.

Package Keys cannot exist without an associated application. You can create Package keys only for an existing application. Once the Package Key is created, you cannot modify it; you can only modify the Package Key Settings.
