# Developer Sandboxes installation and configuration

Developer Sandboxes installation and configuration covers Developer Sandboxes on your instance. Review entitlements, install the plugins, assign licenses, and look up the roles, tables, and properties that control how sandboxes work.

## Configuration overview

Complete these tasks in the following order. You must install Developer Sandboxes and set up the instance before you can assign licenses to it.

1.  [Review your entitlements](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/application-development/developer-sandboxes/dev-sbx-entitlements.md)

    Review the entitlements that determine whether you have access to Developer Sandboxes, how sandbox packs are sized, and how many sandboxes an instance can have.

2.  [Install Developer Sandboxes](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/application-development/developer-sandboxes/dev-sbx-installing.md)

    Review the prerequisites, install the plugins, and set the required properties.

3.  [Enable SSO if needed](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/application-development/developer-sandboxes/dev-sbx-sso.md)

    If you use single sign-on \(SSO\), set the properties on the base instance that let developers use SSO to access sandboxes.

4.  [Assign licenses to instances](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/application-development/developer-sandboxes/dsb-license-allocation-about.md)

    Assign purchased sandbox packs to non-production instances from App Engine Management Center \(AEMC\) without opening a support case. You need access to AEMC with the sandbox\_license\_admin role role to open the license assignment page, and the app\_engine\_admin role is required.
