The Complete Unetwork License Guide: Setup, Earnings, and Everything in Between

A Unetwork license is your entry point into the world's largest people powered telecom verification network. One license equals one smartphone running automated tasks that telecom companies pay for. You do not need to buy a node, write code, or understand blockchain. You need a phone, an app, a lease code, and a SIM card. That is it.

This is the complete operator guide for anyone starting as a Unetwork License Operator (ULO). It covers everything from getting your first lease code to withdrawing your first earnings. No fluff, no hype. Just the practical steps, the real numbers, and the honest details about what to expect. If you searched for "Unity Network license guide" or "Unity Node operator guide," you are in the right place. Unity Network rebranded to Unetwork in early 2026, but the technology, the licenses, and the earning model are all the same.

Current earnings sit at approximately $7 per month per license at typical uptime. Projected earnings once Scout and Runner tasks fully launch are approximately $48 per month per license. Those are gross figures before the revenue split between node owner and operator. This guide will walk you through exactly how all of that works.

What Is a Unetwork License?

A Unetwork license is a digital credential that authorizes one smartphone to run telecom verification tasks on the Unetwork network. Each license is tied to exactly one device. You cannot run a single license on two phones, and you cannot stack two licenses on one phone. The relationship is always one to one: one license, one phone, one operator.

The license itself is not a physical item. It is activated through a lease code that you enter in the Unetwork app on your smartphone. Once activated, your phone begins running automated tasks in the background. These tasks collect network telemetry, verify caller ID accuracy, test SMS delivery, validate telecom routes, and more. Telecom companies pay for this data because it helps them detect fraud, verify service quality, and optimize their networks across dozens of countries.

Licenses are created in bundles of 200. A Unetwork Node Owner (UNO) purchases a node, which contains 200 licenses. Round 1 nodes cost $5,000 and Round 2 nodes cost $10,000. The node owner then generates lease codes and distributes individual licenses to operators (ULOs) who run them on their phones. The owner and operator share the earnings according to a preset split ratio.

As an operator, you do not need to buy a node. You do not need to invest $5,000 or $10,000. You lease a license from a node owner, run it on your phone, and earn your share of whatever that license produces. The barrier to entry is intentionally low: the cost of a smartphone, a SIM card, and a basic data plan.

All earnings are paid in UPs (Unetwork Points), which are pegged 1:1 to the US dollar. When you see 7 UPs in your dashboard, that means $7. There is no token price volatility. This is one of the things that sets Unetwork apart from most DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) projects, where your earnings fluctuate with whatever token the project pays you in.

What Do You Need to Get Started?

You need five things to start operating a Unetwork license: a smartphone, the Unetwork app, a lease code from a node owner, a SIM card (for most task types), and a stable internet connection. Here is the full checklist with details on each requirement.

Smartphone. The tasks are not computationally intensive. You do not need a flagship phone. Many operators use dedicated budget Android devices in the $50 to $100 range specifically for Unetwork. Any phone manufactured in the last five years with a working screen, a SIM slot (or eSIM support), and the ability to install apps from the App Store or Play Store will work.

Unetwork App. The app is free to download and available on both iOS and Android. It handles everything automatically once you set it up: task scheduling, execution, data reporting, and earnings tracking. You do not need to manually trigger any tasks.

Lease Code. This is the key that activates your license. You get it from a node owner. The code comes with a preset revenue split (50/50, 40/60, or 30/70) that determines how earnings are divided between the owner and you. Once you enter the code and activate the license, the split is locked in for the duration of the lease. Choose carefully before entering any code.

SIM Card. A SIM card or eSIM is required for CLI Testing, SMS Testing, Sender ID Testing, Scout, and Runner tasks. The Connection and Entropy tasks run without a SIM. However, most of the earning potential comes from tasks that require a SIM, so having one installed is strongly recommended. A basic prepaid SIM with voice and SMS capability is enough. You do not need an expensive plan.

Internet Connection. Wi-Fi is ideal for the passive tasks that run when your phone is at home and plugged in. Mobile data works too, and the data consumption is minimal (typically under 100 MB per month for Unetwork tasks). The phone needs to be online to report task results and receive new task assignments.

How Do You Get a Lease Code?

You get a lease code from a Unetwork Node Owner (UNO) who has purchased a node and is distributing licenses to operators. Each node contains 200 licenses, and each license is assigned a lease code by the owner. The code also carries a revenue split that determines your earnings share.

There are three standard split options. The format is always written as UNO/ULO, meaning the first number is the owner's share and the second is the operator's share:

The higher the operator share, the more you take home each month. A 30/70 split puts 40% more money in your pocket compared to a 50/50 split on the same license earning the same gross amount. Not every license provider offers all three splits. Our competitor at unetworklicenses.com, for example, exclusively offers 40/60 splits. At unetworklicense.com, we offer all three: 50/50, 40/60, and 30/70.

Where to find lease codes:

License directories like unetworklicense.com list available licenses with their split ratios clearly labeled. You can browse, compare, and choose before committing to any code.

Community channels on Telegram, Discord, and social media groups also have node owners offering codes. Quality and reliability vary, so working with an established provider with a clear directory reduces the risk of miscommunication about splits.

Direct relationships with node owners are another option. If you know someone who purchased a Unetwork node, they can generate a lease code for you directly from their node management interface.

For a deeper breakdown of how each split ratio affects your earnings across different scenarios, read our Unetwork License Splits Explained guide.

How Do You Set Up the Unetwork App?

Setting up the Unetwork app takes about five minutes and involves four steps: download the app, create an account, enter your lease code, and grant the required permissions. Here is the step by step process.

Step 1: Download the app.Search for "Unetwork" on the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android). The app is free. Make sure you download the official Unetwork app and not a similarly named clone.

Step 2: Create your account. Open the app and register with your email address. You will need to verify your email before proceeding. The account is what ties your license, your earnings, and your withdrawal wallet together.

Step 3: Enter your lease code. Once your account is verified, navigate to the license activation section. Enter the lease code you received from your node owner or from the license directory. Before confirming, the app will display the split ratio attached to that code. Verify that it matches what you expected. Once you confirm, the split is locked in permanently for that license.

Step 4: Grant permissions. The app will request several device permissions depending on which tasks you want to run. Granting all permissions maximizes the number of task types available to you, which maximizes your earnings.

After granting permissions, the app connects to the Unetwork network and begins receiving tasks. Connection telemetry starts immediately. CLI and SMS tests begin arriving once the network assigns test calls and messages to your device. There is no manual activation needed beyond this point. Keep the phone charged, keep it connected, and let the app do its work.

One practical tip: on Android, make sure battery optimization is disabled for the Unetwork app. Android's battery saver can kill background processes, which stops tasks from running while you are not actively using the phone. Go to Settings, then Apps, then Unetwork, then Battery, and select "Unrestricted" or equivalent. On iOS, ensure Background App Refresh is enabled for the app.

What Does the Unetwork Dashboard Show?

The Unetwork dashboard is the main screen you see when you open the app. It gives you a real time overview of your license status, earnings, uptime, and task activity. Here is what each section means and why it matters.

License Status.This shows whether your license is active and connected to the network. A green "Active" status means your phone is online, the app is running, and tasks are being received. If the status shows anything else (inactive, offline, or disconnected), it means your phone is not currently earning. Check your internet connection, verify the app has not been killed by battery optimization, and make sure your account is in good standing.

Uptime. This is the percentage of time your license has been online and available over a given period (usually shown as daily or monthly). Higher uptime directly correlates with higher earnings because your phone can only receive and complete tasks when it is online. Target 90% uptime or above. Every hour offline is an hour of potential tasks missed.

Earnings. The dashboard shows your accumulated UPs for the current period. Remember that 1 UP equals 1 USD. The number displayed is your share after the revenue split. If you are on a 40/60 split and your license earned 7 UPs gross, you will see 4.20 UPs in your earnings balance (your 60% share).

Tasks Completed. This counter shows how many individual tasks your device has executed. It typically breaks down by task type so you can see which categories are most active in your region. If you notice one task type at zero, it may mean that particular task is not yet available in your market, or that you have not granted the required permission for that task.

Withdrawal Balance. This shows the total UPs available for withdrawal. Your earnings accumulate here until you initiate a withdrawal. The minimum withdrawal amount is $5 and the maximum per transaction is $150.

What Tasks Does Your Phone Run?

Your phone runs up to seven distinct task types, each serving a different purpose for telecom companies and each paying differently. All tasks run automatically in the background once enabled. You do not need to trigger anything manually.

Connection is the most passive task. It runs silently in the background, measuring signal strength, latency, connection type (4G, 5G, Wi-Fi), and carrier identification. No SIM needed. Earns approximately 0.20 to 0.40 UPs per day. This is the baseline that every operator receives just by having the app running.

CLI Testing (Calling Line Identification) verifies that caller ID data transmits correctly across international phone networks. Your phone receives test calls, and the app checks whether the displayed caller ID matches what was sent. This catches caller ID spoofing, routing corruption, and grey route traffic. Earns 0.2 to 2 UPs per completed task.

SMS Testing checks whether text messages arrive accurately, on time, and with the correct sender information. The app reports delivery timing, content integrity, and sender ID accuracy. Telecom companies use this data to identify routing problems that affect banking OTPs, healthcare alerts, and other critical communications. Earns 0.2 to 2 UPs per task.

Sender ID Testing goes deeper into how intermediary networks handle sender identity. It detects cases where networks replace branded sender names with random numbers, modify caller IDs, or strip identity data entirely. This is newer than CLI and SMS testing and is still expanding across regions.

Scout and Runner is the high value task pair that represents the largest earning opportunity on the network. Scouts research telecom routes in their country, find phone numbers that need testing, and submit structured call plans. Runners execute those plans by making real phone calls to verify routes, with results confirmed through IVR verification. During the alpha test, 327 participants generated approximately 9,000 test reports, and top route rates reached $0.28 per verified minute. The public beta is live globally.

Entropy is the newest task type, announced in May 2026. It generates true randomness from device sensors for cryptographic security, blockchain validation, and decentralized systems. No SIM required. Specific earning rates will be announced as the task moves toward public launch.

For the complete breakdown of every task type, including technical details and per task earning ranges, read our Unetwork Network Tasks Explained guide. For everything about Scout and Runner specifically, see the Scout and Runner Deep Dive.

How Much Can You Earn as a Unetwork License Operator?

A single Unetwork license currently earns approximately $7 per month in UPs at typical uptime levels with the baseline tasks active (Connection, CLI Testing, and SMS Testing). That is the honest, real world number as of mid 2026. Projected earnings once Scout and Runner tasks fully launch sit closer to $48 per month per license.

These are gross license earnings before the revenue split. Your actual take home depends on the split ratio attached to your lease code. Here is what operators actually receive at each split:

The $7 figure comes from Connection telemetry and CLI Testing tasks, which are the primary active task types in most regions right now. SMS Testing adds a small amount in markets where it is available. Scout and Runner tasks, which are expected to be the biggest earners, are in public beta but have not yet rolled out to all operators.

The $48 projection is based on alpha test data from the Scout and Runner program, where 327 participants generated approximately 9,000 test reports and top route rates hit $0.28 per verified minute. It is a realistic target, not a guarantee. Actual earnings will depend on task density in your region, your uptime, and how actively you participate in Scout and Runner tasks.

Operators who run multiple licenses across multiple devices multiply these numbers. Five licenses at 30/70 earn $24.50 per month at current rates. Ten licenses at 30/70 earn $49 per month. At projected rates, those same ten licenses would generate $336 per month in operator income.

For the complete earnings breakdown with detailed math at every scale, read our Unetwork Earnings Guide.

How Do Reward Splits Work Between Owner and Operator?

Reward splits determine how the gross earnings from each license are divided between the node owner (UNO) and the license operator (ULO). The split is set by the node owner when they generate the lease code, and it is locked in permanently once the operator claims that license.

The format is always UNO/ULO. A 50/50 split means the owner gets 50% and the operator gets 50%. A 40/60 split means the owner gets 40% and the operator gets 60%. A 30/70 split means the owner gets 30% and the operator gets 70%. The second number is always your share as the operator.

The split exists because Unetwork separates license ownership from license operation. Node owners invest capital to purchase nodes ($5,000 for Round 1, $10,000 for Round 2) but may not have 200 phones or may not live in regions where telecom tasks generate the most value. Operators contribute the phone, the mobile connection, the physical presence in a coverage area, and the effort of keeping the device running. The split compensates both parties for their respective contributions.

The 40/60 split is the most common option across the Unetwork ecosystem. It is the only split available from some providers. The 30/70 split is the best option for operators who want to maximize their take home pay and is available through select providers like unetworklicense.com. The 50/50 split is the most balanced but puts the least money in the operator's pocket.

One critical detail: the split only affects how earnings are divided. It does not affect how many tasks your phone receives, how much each task pays, or the gross earning potential of the license. A 30/70 license and a 50/50 license receive the same tasks and earn the same total UPs. The only difference is how those UPs are distributed.

You cannot change the split after claiming a license. If you claimed a license at 50/50 and later discover that 30/70 options exist, you would need to release your current license and claim a new one. Always compare available options and choose the highest operator share you can find before entering any lease code.

For the full comparison of all three splits with detailed math, scaling scenarios, and strategic advice, see our Unetwork License Splits Explained guide.

How Do You Withdraw Your Earnings?

Withdrawals convert your accumulated UPs into cryptocurrency on the blockchain of your choice. The minimum withdrawal is $5 and the maximum per transaction is $150. Your UPs are converted at a 1:1 ratio to USD value on whichever chain you select.

Five blockchain networks are currently supported for withdrawals:

To withdraw, open the Unetwork app, navigate to the withdrawal section, select your preferred blockchain, enter your wallet address, and specify the amount. The app processes the withdrawal and sends the equivalent value to your wallet. You will need a crypto wallet that supports the chain you choose. Popular options include MetaMask (Ethereum, BSC), Phantom (Solana), Xaman (XRP), and any Cardano wallet like Eternl or Yoroi.

The $5 minimum means you can withdraw relatively quickly even at current earning rates. On a 30/70 split earning $4.90 per month, you would accumulate enough for a withdrawal in just over a month. On a 50/50 split at $3.50 per month, it takes about six weeks. The $150 maximum per transaction is a per withdrawal limit, not a daily or monthly cap. If you have $300 in accumulated UPs, you would simply make two withdrawal transactions.

Gas fees on the receiving chain are separate from your withdrawal amount. Ethereum tends to have the highest gas fees, so operators withdrawing smaller amounts often prefer BSC, Solana, or XRP for lower transaction costs. The withdrawal itself from the Unetwork app does not charge a fee, but check current gas costs on your chosen chain before initiating.

What Are the Costs of Running a Unetwork License?

The ongoing costs of operating a Unetwork license are minimal, which is one of the reasons the earning model works even at $7 per month. The app is free. The lease code is free. Your main expenses are the phone itself (one time), a SIM card (monthly), and electricity to keep the phone charged.

If you already have a spare smartphone at home, your only recurring cost is the SIM card plan. In many developing markets (Philippines, India, Nigeria, Kenya, Thailand), basic prepaid SIMs cost $1 to $3 per month. Even at the current $4.90 per month operator earnings on a 30/70 split, the net income after a $2 SIM plan is $2.90 per month per license.

The economics improve significantly at scale. If you run five licenses on five phones, your total SIM cost might be $10 to $15 per month, but your total earnings at 30/70 would be $24.50 per month at current rates. At projected rates of $48 per license, five licenses at 30/70 would generate $168 per month in operator income against maybe $15 in total SIM and electricity costs.

One important point: you should never pay money for a lease code itself. Lease codes are generated free by node owners. If someone asks you to pay for a code, that is a red flag. The node owner makes their return through the revenue split, not by selling the lease code. Your cost as an operator should be limited to the phone and the SIM.

Is Your Data Safe While Running Unetwork?

Yes. Unetwork tasks collect network performance data and telecom verification results only. Your personal information, browsing history, contacts, photos, messages, and app usage are not accessed or transmitted. The data collected is strictly limited to what is needed for the specific task type.

Connection tasks record signal strength, latency, connection type, and carrier identification. CLI Testing records whether caller ID data transmitted correctly on a test call. SMS Testing records message delivery timing and content accuracy on test messages sent by the network. None of these tasks access your personal calls, personal messages, or any other private data on your device.

The telemetry data is anonymized before transmission. The Unetwork network does not know or care about what websites you visit, what apps you use, or who you communicate with. It only measures how the telecommunications infrastructure performs from the perspective of your device and location.

The permissions the app requests (location, phone, SMS) might look broad, but they are specifically scoped to the tasks the app performs. Location is needed to geotag telemetry data so carriers know where measurements were taken. Phone permission is needed to receive and report on test calls. SMS permission is needed for the same purpose with test messages. These permissions do not give the app access to your personal call history, your contacts list, or your private messages.

If you want extra separation, use a dedicated phone for Unetwork. Many operators already do this. A $50 to $100 budget Android phone with nothing on it except the Unetwork app and a prepaid SIM eliminates any privacy concern entirely, because there is no personal data on the device in the first place.

What Tips Help You Maximize Your Earnings?

Maximizing earnings comes down to four things: uptime, SIM card, permissions, and scale. Every one of these factors is within your control, and each one directly impacts how much you take home.

Keep uptime above 90%. Your phone can only earn when it is online and running the app. Every hour offline is an hour of missed tasks. The most common causes of downtime are battery dying, Wi-Fi dropping, and battery optimization killing the app. Plug the phone in permanently at home. Disable battery optimization for the Unetwork app. Use a stable Wi-Fi connection. If you follow these three steps, maintaining 90%+ uptime requires almost zero effort.

Always use a SIM card. Without a SIM, you can only run Connection and Entropy tasks. With a SIM, you unlock CLI Testing, SMS Testing, Sender ID Testing, Scout, and Runner. The difference in earning potential is significant. A basic prepaid SIM with voice and SMS costs $1 to $5 per month in most markets. That small investment opens up the majority of available tasks.

Grant all permissions. Each permission enables a specific set of tasks. If you deny phone permission, you cannot run CLI Testing. If you deny SMS permission, you cannot run SMS Testing. If you deny location, your telemetry data cannot be geotagged, which reduces its value. Grant every permission the app requests. There is no benefit to being selective here. More permissions means more task types means more earnings.

Run multiple devices. Each license requires its own phone, but there is no limit to how many licenses you can operate. Operators in high task regions like the Philippines, India, Nigeria, Kenya, and Thailand often run 5 to 10 licenses across multiple devices. The economics work especially well with budget Android phones. A $60 phone running a 30/70 license at projected rates of $48 per month generates $33.60 per month in operator income. That phone pays for itself in under two months.

Choose the best split available. The split affects your earnings more than almost any other variable. A 30/70 split pays 40% more than a 50/50 split on the same license earning the same amount. Over a year across multiple licenses, the difference between splits can easily exceed $100 to $200.

Participate in Scout and Runner. These are the highest paying tasks on the network. If you are only earning from passive Connection and CLI Testing, you are leaving money on the table. The Scout and Runner public beta is live globally. Complete the ScoutQuest tutorial, start submitting call plans, and begin executing Runner tasks. This is where the path from $7 per month to $48 per month gets real.

What Regions Have the Most Task Activity?

Task availability and density vary by region. Unetwork tasks are driven by telecom partner demand, which is highest in countries where call routing verification, fraud detection, and connectivity testing are most needed by carriers. The most active regions as of mid 2026 are in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and parts of Africa.

High task density regions include the Philippines, India, Nigeria, Kenya, and Thailand. These markets have the most active telecom partnerships, which translates to more tasks per device per day. Operators in these regions typically earn at or above the $7 per month baseline because they receive a higher frequency of CLI, SMS, and Sender ID tasks on top of the passive Connection telemetry.

Growing regions include Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Ghana, and parts of Latin America. Telecom partnerships are expanding into these markets, which means task availability is increasing over time. Operators who get set up in these regions now position themselves to benefit as task volume grows.

Lower task density regions include most of North America, Europe, and Oceania. These markets have less demand for the specific types of telecom verification that Unetwork provides, partly because carriers in developed markets already have internal testing infrastructure. Operators in these regions still earn from Connection telemetry but may see fewer CLI and SMS tasks.

Scout and Runner tasks have global availability regardless of existing telecom partnerships, because the route verification data is valuable in every country. This is one of the reasons Scout and Runner is expected to increase earnings across all regions, not just the high density markets.

What Is the Difference Between a UNO and a ULO?

A UNO (Unetwork Node Owner) is the person or entity that purchased a Unetwork node and owns the licenses. A ULO (Unetwork License Operator) is the person who leases a license and runs it on their smartphone. These are two distinct roles in the Unetwork ecosystem, and understanding the difference matters for knowing where you fit.

The UNOinvests capital. They buy a node ($5,000 for Round 1, $10,000 for Round 2), which gives them 200 licenses. They set the split ratio on each license, generate lease codes, and distribute them to operators. The UNO earns their share of every license's earnings passively. They do not need to run any phones themselves, although some UNOs do operate their own licenses on their own devices.

The ULO invests effort. They provide the smartphone, the SIM card, the internet connection, and the ongoing attention to keep the device running. The ULO does the active work that generates earnings: keeping the phone charged, maintaining uptime, granting permissions, and participating in task types like Scout and Runner. The ULO earns their share based on the split attached to their license.

Most people reading this guide are ULOs or aspiring ULOs. You do not need $5,000 or $10,000 to start. You need a phone, a SIM, and a lease code. The UNO handles the investment side. You handle the operation side. The split ensures both parties earn from the arrangement.

Can You Run Multiple Licenses on Multiple Phones?

Yes, and this is how most serious operators scale their earnings. Each license requires its own dedicated phone, but there is no limit to the number of licenses a single person can operate. If you have five phones, you can run five licenses. If you have ten, you can run ten.

The math is straightforward. At current rates with a 30/70 split:

The upfront cost of 10 budget Android phones is roughly $500 to $1,000. At projected earnings of $336 per month, the phones pay for themselves in two to three months. Even at current earnings of $49 per month, the breakeven on 10 budget phones is about 10 to 20 months depending on what you pay per device.

Operators in the Philippines, India, and other high task regions who run 5 to 10 licenses treat this as genuine supplemental income. In markets where $100 to $300 per month is meaningful household earnings, the projected returns from 10 licenses at 30/70 ($336/month) represent substantial additional income for the household.

What Happens If Your Phone Goes Offline?

Tasks pause when the device is offline and resume automatically when connectivity is restored. You do not lose your license, your accumulated earnings, or your account status. The app picks up where it left off as soon as the phone reconnects.

What you do lose is the opportunity to earn during the downtime. Every minute offline is a minute where your phone cannot receive CLI test calls, SMS test messages, or Connection telemetry pings. If your phone is offline for 8 hours per day (one third of the day), you are potentially missing one third of your tasks.

Extended downtime does not trigger any penalty or license revocation as long as the license remains claimed. If you go on vacation and leave the phone off for a week, you simply earn nothing for that week. Your license is still yours when you come back and plug the phone in. However, extremely prolonged inactivity (months of zero uptime) may eventually trigger a review from the node owner, depending on your arrangement. Communicate with your node owner if you anticipate significant downtime.

How Does Unetwork Compare to Other DePIN Projects?

Unetwork (formerly Unity Network) sits in the DePIN category alongside projects like Helium, Hivemapper, DIMO, and others. The key differences that matter for operators are the earning stability, the barrier to entry, and the revenue source.

Earning stability. UPs are pegged 1:1 to USD. When you earn 7 UPs, that is worth $7 today, tomorrow, and next month. Most DePIN projects pay in their native token, which means your monthly earnings fluctuate with the token price. An operator earning $100 worth of tokens this month might find those tokens worth $30 next month if the price drops. Unetwork eliminates this variable entirely.

Barrier to entry. No hardware purchase from the project itself is required for operators. You use an existing smartphone or buy a budget phone. Compare this to Helium, which requires a specific hotspot device ($250 to $500+), or Hivemapper, which requires a dashcam ($300 to $650). Unetwork operators start with equipment they likely already own.

Revenue source. Unetwork earnings come from real telecom companies paying for real data. This is not inflationary token emissions rewarding you for participation. Carriers pay for caller ID verification, SMS testing, route validation, and network telemetry because this data directly impacts their business operations. The revenue model is sustainable because it is tied to commercial demand, not token supply mechanics.

That said, current earnings of $7 per month are modest. The project is honest about this. The upside case depends on Scout and Runner tasks scaling to their projected volumes. If those projections materialize, the $48 per month per license figure puts Unetwork among the highest earning DePIN projects for individual operators. If they do not, earnings will remain in the single digits per month per license.

What Should You Watch Out For?

A few common mistakes and misconceptions trip up new operators. Knowing about them upfront saves time and frustration.

Do not pay for a lease code. Lease codes are free. Node owners generate them at no cost from their node management interface. If someone is selling you a lease code for money, walk away. The UNO makes their return through the revenue split, not by charging for access. Legitimate providers like unetworklicense.com list available licenses with their splits for free.

Check the split before you claim. The split is permanent once you enter the lease code and activate the license. If you rush through the setup and claim a 50/50 license without checking, you cannot switch to 30/70 later without releasing the license and starting over. Take 30 seconds to verify the split displayed in the app matches what you expected.

Do not assume projected earnings are guaranteed. The $48 per month figure is a projection based on alpha test data and expected task volumes when Scout and Runner fully launch. It is a realistic target, but it is not a promise. Make your decisions based on current earnings of $7 per month and treat the $48 figure as upside potential.

Battery optimization will kill your earnings. This is the number one technical issue new operators face, especially on Android. If you notice your uptime dropping below 80% despite your phone being plugged in and connected, battery optimization is almost certainly the cause. Disable it for the Unetwork app in your phone settings.

One license, one phone. You cannot install the app on two phones and use the same lease code on both. Each license is bound to one device. If you want to switch phones, you will need to deactivate the license on the old device and reactivate on the new one. The process is handled through the app.
