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. ## Additional configuration information Use these topics to set up related features and look up what is installed with Developer Sandboxes. - [Developer Sandboxes domain separation](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/application-development/developer-sandboxes/dsb-domain-separation.md) Set up domain separation on the base instance before sandboxes are created, so that sandboxes inherit the domains you define. - [Components installed with Developer Sandboxes](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/application-development/developer-sandboxes/dsb-installed-with.md) Look up the roles, plugins, and tables that are installed with Developer Sandboxes. - [Properties installed with Developer Sandboxes](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/application-development/developer-sandboxes/dsb-properties-installed.md) Look up the system properties that govern sandbox behavior, such as node counts, table configuration, and data copy settings. - **[Developer Sandboxes entitlements](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/application-development/developer-sandboxes/dev-sbx-entitlements.md)** Your company's entitlements determine whether you have access to Developer Sandboxes. - **[Developer Sandboxes installation](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/application-development/developer-sandboxes/dev-sbx-installing.md)** Developer Sandboxes is installed on your instance, with licenses from a pack assigned by your admin.
