What is the Intel Developer Zone (Intel® DZ)?
The Intel Developer Zone is a global program designed to engage the software community with insights, information, expertise, and tools to help drive innovation and success among developers who work in the Intel software environment. The program provides opportunities for members to connect and collaborate, share knowledge, learn, and grow professionally. In addition, members have access to a wide variety of opportunities to market and sell their software and apps directly to consumers and tap into promotional and funding opportunities to help them grow their businesses.

Evolving technologies, growing customer expectations, and heightened consumer experiences— the business of creating best-selling software and popular apps changes day-to-day. Intel® Developer Zone provides the perspective and resources software professionals need to plan for and react to these shifts.

In addition, the number of people involved in creating and selling software is growing rapidly. The Intel® Developer Zone makes it easy for the software ecosystem to gain access to Intel expertise, knowledge, and technology in an effort to facilitate the development of innovative software and apps that in turn deliver a higher value to the customers who purchase and use them.

Intel makes processors—how does that relate to software?
Intel processors power a huge range of devices—from Macs* and PCs to smartphones, tablets, and OEM devices. As a result, we need to pay attention to the software that runs on those devices in our constant pursuit of better user experiences. This puts Intel in a unique position to help developers make the most of their efforts across a variety of form factors, operating systems, and platforms.

How is this different from other programs in the market?
While other programs may focus on a particular topic or area of development, the Intel® Developer Zone is designed to create value for anyone involved in creating and selling software that’s used on Intel-based devices.

What is an organization? How does it differ from a developer?
Within Intel® Developer Zone, users get an ID and a user account, but they do not receive payments. Organizations publish applications and components, and they receive payment. Thus, a developer must belong to an organization to get paid for their development efforts. The organization can be an individual or a formal company in a country that is part of the list of countries the Program can make payments to.

How do I register my organization (company)?
Look for the Join Now button on any page. The Program will send you a confirmation email with an invitation code that you must enter as part of the registration process.

Can I belong to more than one organization?
Yes. You can belong to any number of organizations. Payments for application sales and component Revenue Shares, however, are made to the organization publishing the product. You must join the Program to become a member of an organization.

Do members of organizations have different access rights?
The organization's administrator(s) assign a user role to each member. The Program user registering an organization becomes the organization's first administrator. There are four user roles: Administrator, Member, Financial, and Legal. The Member role can publish applications and components under the organization. The Financial role has Member privileges, plus can see financial information about the organization. The Legal role has Member privileges, plus can review and sign legal agreements. The Administrator role has all privileges.

What runtimes or technologies are currently supported?
MeeGo* native, Windows* native, HTML5. We also have SDKs available in C, C++, Java*, .NET and Adobe Air*.

Do you provide regression testing?
No. Part of your reputation depends on how well your applications and components perform and run. You should thoroughly test your applications and components before submitting them for validation. Intel® validates certain aspects of your application for suitability to the program, completeness, and legal requirements. Validation does not debug or regression-test your code.

What is a component?
A component is a building block application developers can use in their code to accelerate their development. Components might include location services, voice recognition, wireless communications, processing algorithms, and many more. Currently the program accepts components for netbooks only.

How do I submit a component?
Create a user account and enroll your organization. Download the developer tools, request a GUID, and create your component. Review the checklists to help ensure a successful component validation. Then, on your Home page, click Submit a Component and follow the steps. See How to Submit an Application.

How do I know if my component is used in an application?
Currently, when a developer submits an application, he or she will list it in their submission forms. In the future, when consumers purchase applications containing your components, the store recognizes your component, and you receive payment (for commercial applications and components) according to your agreed upon revenue share.

How can I support my component?
We automatically create a forum thread for your component for support. You can find the URL for the forum in the component product details. Subscribe to the forum thread to follow all the community conversations related to your component. This is the primary resource page for component development.

How do I submit an application?
Join the Intel Developer Zone. Download the developer tools, and create your application. Review the Application Readiness and Application Submission checklists to help ensure a successful application validation. Then, on your Home page, click Submit an Application and follow the steps.

What are the requirements for submitting free applications?
If you use components, they must be free components. You must join the Intel Developer Zone, but you do not need to have a PayPal* account for payments. See the Intel AppUp® Application/Component Suitability and Validation Guidelines for details about requirements.

What are the requirements for submitting paid applications?
You must join the Program and provide a PayPal* account for payments. See Intel AppUp® Application/Component Suitability and Validation Guidelines for details about requirements.

Can I update my application or component before validation starts?
Yes. Log in to your account, go to My Dashboard select the organization the application or component is published under from the Current Organization drop-down menu, and select Applications or Components from the My Dashboard drop-down menu. Expand the desired application or component and click the Actions button next to the name of the desired application or component. If you submitted the application or component for validation and the validation process has not started, remove it from validation and then edit it. If validation has already started, you have to wait until it completes. If you have not submitted it for validation, you can edit it.

Can I remove my application or component from the validation queue?
Yes, you can remove it from the validation queue after you submit it if validation has not yet started. Log in to your account; go to My Dashboard, select the organization the application or component is published under from the Current Organization drop-down menu, and select Applications or Components from the My Dashboard drop-down menu. Expand the desired item, click the action button next to the name of the desired application or component, and remove it.

What is a GUID?
A GUID is a global unique identifier. The website generates a GUID for each component and application, which you must include in your code if you are integrating the SDK. Wherever you see a Get a GUID or Generate a GUID button, you can request a GUID for your application or component.

Why do I need a GUID?
The GUID uniquely identifies your component or application across the population of all applications and components. It is used to track purchases, among other tasks.

When should I get a GUID?
Obtain a GUID for your application or component as early as possible. Each GUID is associated with a unique name. If you want to ensure you get the name you desire, get your GUID early. Prepare several names to choose from, in case your first choice is not available.

How do you validate applications and components?
After submitting your component or application, the validation process checks your code for suitability for the program, licensing and legal issues, and some basic functionality. To help ensure validation success, download a validation checklist for components or applications. Your component or application must pass validation before it can be published. For more information, see the Component Validation Checklist or Application Validation Checklist.

Can I only build components?
Yes. We encourage both component and application development. New, interesting, and easy-to-integrate components accelerate application development and introduce new, innovative usages for netbooks. And, with revenue sharing, you can earn revenue by developing components alone or in addition to applications. You earn revenue from both.

What kinds of applications can I distribute?
You can distribute nearly any type of application content. For a list of unacceptable content, see the Intel AppUp® Developer's Guide. The Intel AppUp® SDK is now available for download. To take full advantage of revenue-generating opportunities, you must use the Intel AppUp SDK. Intel AppUp engineers will then validate submitted items.

Do you allow adult content in applications?
See the application submission guidelines for the types of content that are acceptable.

How are applications rated?
You should choose a content rating that best describes the type of content your application may contain. The rating guidelines (shown below) help users understand the type(s) of content included in the applications they are buying. Please check review the validation guidelines to get full details.

Can I use open-source content in my applications and components?
Yes, open source applications and components can be submitted.

How long will the validation process take?
Validation time will vary with the complexity of your application and number of applications in the queue at the time of submission. During validation, you can view validation status by checking Applications or Components in My Dashboard. Always be sure to select your organization from the Current Organization drop-down menu in your Dashboard.

In what format should I submit my applications?
You can submit applications in the following formats. See the Application Packaging Requirements Guide for details.

• .msi (for Windows*/Adobe Air*) You must use the Intel AppUp® encapsulator to convert .air* files into .msi
• .rpm (for Meego*/Tizen*)

What is the business model? How do I make money?

• Developers will set the price for their applications, and receive up to 70 percent of the revenue from every sale from every store. The remaining portion covers Infrastructure operational expenses and partner revenue.
• Developers can choose to use some of their revenue in exchange for things like promotion.
• Developers can also build and sell application components the Developer Store in exchange for a percentage of the revenue from every application sold that uses their component.

How much does it cost to join the Intel Developer Zone?
There is no cost for developers to join the Intel Developer Zone.

What is Revenue Share?
To compensate component developers, you pay a share of the price of your application to the component developer. This is called a Revenue Share. The component developer sets the Revenue Share percentage and indicates if the component can be used in free applications. For example, if the component developer offers a component for 12 percent, when a customer purchases your application, the store deducts 12 percent of your share from your revenue and pays the component publisher. If the component developer allows the component to be used in free applications, you will not be charged for using the component if you make your application free. We recommend you contact the component developer through the Component Catalog. The Program processes all payments and pays the component developer and you automatically.

When building your application with components, be sure their Revenue Share does not exceed 100 percent. The website does not allow this condition.

Can I negotiate Revenue Share with the component developer?
Yes, you can negotiate with a component developer for a different Revenue Share from what the component developer publishes.

Do I pay for components?
Some components are free. Others you pay for through a revenue-sharing agreement.

How much do I pay for components?
The component publisher sets the price of a component as a share of your price, called a Revenue Share. As the Program collects payment for an application, it automatically deducts the Revenue Share of all components used by your application and pays the component developers for their components.

The Program automatically processes payment to the component publisher when a customer purchases one of your applications containing components that are not free. You do not have to handle payments.

Can I earn money on components only?
Yes. We encourage component development to accelerate application development and deployment. As a component developer, you set the percentage of the application price you charge for using your component. This is called a Revenue Share.

Are any components free?
Yes. There are free components and components for which there is a charge. See the Component Catalog for free and purchased components.

Does validation cost me anything?
No. The cost of validation is covered by the yearly program fee and the Program's share of application sales.

Can I distribute free applications?
Yes. You can distribute free applications and free components. You set the price of your efforts.

Can I submit a paid application from anywhere in the world?
No. We can pay developers in the following countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, People's Republic of China, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Venezuela and Vietnam. We are working to expand this list in the future.

In which countries are applications sold?
In Asia/Pacific, the countries are Australia, New Zealand, India, Philippines and Singapore. In Europe the countries are Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. In North America the countries are Canada and the United States.

How can you ensure that your application becomes available in all of these countries?
If an application is in the validation queue, you can edit it through My Dashboard until validation begins. If validation for an application has already begun, you must wait to edit country information until the process is completed and the validation engineer has rejected or approved the application. For existing approved applications, you can add these new countries through "My Dashboard" at the Intel Developer Zone.

Will applications have to be revalidated for additional countries?
The validation process is a one-time process only. Applications that have already been validated or are available via the Intel AppUp® center do not need to be revalidated.

Component Catalog

What is the Component Catalog?
How do I use the Component Catalog?
How do I add components to my application?
How do I pay for components?

What is the Component Catalog?

• The Component Catalog lists components available to help accelerate your development and to implement useful and innovative functionality. Each component includes its own API and documentation.
• When a developer uses your component in an application, you can receive a portion of their application revenue. The amount of the revenue-sharing agreement is negotiated between the component and application developers.
• Having a catalog of reusable components can help speed up application development and provide component developers with a way to make money.

How do I use the Component Catalog?
Click on the Catalog button on your Home page and view and download components you are interested in. The Component Catalog lists the price of the component as a portion of your application price, called a Revenue Share. http://software.intel.com/en-us/appup/componentcatalog

How do I add components to my application?
Each component includes its own API and documentation. Download the component and review the documentation. When you are ready to submit your application, you will list the components you use in one of the steps of the submission process.

How do I pay for components?
You don't have to manage payments to component publishers. The component publisher sets the price of the components as a portion of your price, called a Revenue Share. If you use a component in your application, the Program automatically pays the component publisher out of your revenue as users purchase your application. See What is Revenue Share?

Who is eligible for Intel® Premier Support?

Every purchase of an Intel® Software Development Product includes a year of support services, which provides access to Intel® Premier Support.

If you currently access support services, you can download any version of the software from Intel Registration Center, and you can submit questions and problems on your product through the Intel Premier Support web site.

Once your support services have expired, downloads are only available to you for product versions with a Build Date on or before your license Support Expiration date. Intel's policy is to restrict your account from submitting new questions to Intel® Premier Support, but you will still be able to view and communicate on your previous Intel Premier Support issues. As soon as the expired product license has been renewed, access will be restored for downloads of all product versions, and for submitting new issues to Intel Premier Support for entitled products. You can submit issues to the user forums regardless of whether your support services have expired.

A login is required. If I don't have a login, how do I obtain one?

If you have registered your Intel Software Development Product, your registration log-in should apply to Intel Premier Support as well.

If you have not registered your product, go to the Intel® Registration Center and register (product serial number required).

If you have registered, but you did not select the free technical support, return to the Intel Registration Center, log-in, re-register the same serial number and email address in the Register a Product box, and choose the Support Account link on the Serial Number Information page.

If you still have problems signing up for support, contact us.

Obtaining product updates

Product updates are now available from the Intel Registration Center.

1. Login to the Intel Registration Center by entering your log-in ID and password in the Log-in section on the right-side of the web page.
2. Click the link under Download Latest Update for the product of interest.
3. A detailed description of the files included in the product will be displayed. Click on the hyperlink for each file you wish to download.

If your current license has not expired, you do not need a different license file. Your license will be detected by the install and will work with releases created during your support service period.

For support service license purchase/ renewal information, please go to the Purchasing Information site.

How do I submit an issue to Intel® Premier Support?

To submit an issue, you must log in to Intel Premier Support. If you do not have a log-in account, please refer to Register for Intel Premier Support.

Once you have logged in, the left channel will always have links to the various features of the tool. Follow these steps to submit an issue:

1. Click Submit Issues in the left channel.
2. Choose product type from the Product Type dropdown box. For Intel® Software Products, choose Development Environment (tools, SDV, EAP) as the product type. Please note that Intel Premier Support product type is for reporting problems with the Premier Support site itself and not for product support.
3. From the Product Name dropdown box, choose the product about which you want to submit the issue.
4. Enter a head-line type description of the problem or question in the Issue Title box.
5. Enter a detailed question, or problem description in the Question box. This description must contain sufficient information for engineering to characterize the problem. Examples of information that is generally required are: versions of all software related to the problem, an accurate description of the steps needed to reproduce the problem, and a description of the hardware and operating system used. Put yourself in the receiving engineer's shoes. Think about the information you would need if you were trying to understand the user's environment to help them solve a problem.
6. Choose Request Type from the dropdown box (e.g., Documentation Error, Feature Request, Problem Report, etc.).
7. Click Submit Issue or Submit Issue/Upload Files button depending on whether you have a file to attach with the issue or not. If you chose Submit Issue/Upload Files then attach the file(s) to the issue (for instance a test case, or screen shot, etc.).
8. Once you submit the issue, you will get an issue number that will enable you to track the issue.
