# BYOD Onboarding

### BYOD Device Onboarding Guide

#### BYOD License Overview

* **License Fee:** 105 USD equivalent (payable exclusively in Fry v2 tokens).

***

### Step-by-Step Guide

**Step 1: Create Your Algorand Account**\
If you don’t have an Algorand account yet, create one using recommended apps like Pera or Defly.

**Step 2: Prepare Your Algorand Account**\
Transfer the required number of Algo tokens into your account. Ensure the amount transferred covers the equivalent of the BYOD license fee plus a small additional amount to accommodate transaction fees.

**Step 3: Opt-In to Fry v2 Token (ASA: 2485314946)**\
From your Algorand account app, complete the opt-in process for the Fry v2 token.

**Step 4: Obtain Fry v2 Tokens**\
Use the token swap feature provided within your Algorand app (such as Pera) to exchange Algo tokens for Fry v2 tokens.\
\&#xNAN;*Note:* Retain a small balance (\~10 Algo) to cover potential transaction costs.

**Step 5: Activate Your BYOD License**\
Visit the **BYOD License Portal** to activate your device license. After successful activation, a confirmation email containing your unique license number will be provided.
