Provisioning DXP Apps

Free apps can be downloaded, deployed to Liferay DXP, and used immediately without deploying a license. Paid apps have trial, developer, or standard licenses based on the publisher’s requirements. After installing a paid app, customers must create a license file and deploy it to Liferay DXP.

Provisioning a Free DXP App

1. Log into your Liferay account at marketplace.liferay.com.

2. Find the free app you want and click Get App.

3. Select your account and confirm that you’ve read the End User License Agreement and the Terms of Service.

4. Click Get App.

The app is ready for download. Click Download App to view the app’s Download page. This page shows app versions and supported Liferay DXP versions. One app version can support multiple DXP versions. Click Download next to the version you want to get the .lpkg file.

This page also has a Details tab where you can view the order details.
