Tencent Effect offers various beauty filters and effects. To use the Tencent Effect SDK, you need to purchase a Tencent Effect package. For the billing details, see Pricing Overview.
After buying a package, you can use it to create a new license or extend the validity of an existing license in the Tencent Effect console. A web license can be bound to one domain and one Weixin Mini Program. This document shows you how to add an official web license, as well as how to renew an existing license.
You can apply for free trial licenses to try out Beauty AR Web features. For details, see Free Trial License.
Creating an official license
You get an official license by purchasing a package. The validity period of a license starts immediately after successful payment. To learn about the capabilities of different package editions, see Pricing Overview.
The detailed directions are as follows:
1. Go to Web Licenses of the Tencent Effect SDK console and click Create official license.
2. Select the package edition, enter the Project name, Domain, and Mini Program AppID, and click Next.
Note:
A Standard package can be bound to a single domain, while an Advanced package can be bound to a wildcard domain (if you bind a license to the wildcard domain *.tencent.com, Tencent Effect will be available to any domain that ends with .tencent.com, such as a.tencent.com and b.tencent.com).
3. Enter the Create official license interface, click Bind. Select the unbound Tencent Effect package, and click Create can then generate official license. If you don't have any packages to bind, go to the Purchase Page to buy a package.
Note:
Before you click Confirm, double-check the domain and Weixin Mini Program AppID. For official licenses, modifications are not allowed after binding.
4. Upon successful creation of an official license, the page will display the generated official license information. During the SDK initialization configuration, the License URL and License token must be entered. Please store the following information carefully.

Note:
Currently, the valid period of the renewal package only supports the renewal of the same type of package.

If you want to change the bound package type, you need to submit a service ticket or contact the business for processing.
3. Check the renewed validity period.
