  1. Navigate to https://qz.io/login/
  2. Enter in the product key and click Sign In

Note: Make sure there are no blank spaces before or after the product key.

  1. Once signed in, you are given two options. Select QZ Tray.

  1. At the next screen you have the ability to generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) and a public/private key pair.

You may already have a CSR and/or a public/private key pair. If that is the case, you can upload either of these at this screen.

If you do not upload anything, a public key, private key, and a certificate will be generated.

  1. Fill in the required fields and hit Submit request

  2. After a few seconds a new field will appear at the bottom of the page. Download the public key, private key, and certificate.

Note: All three downloads will not be available if you provided QZ with a CSR or a public/private key pair. The public key chain will always be provided by QZ.

This key chain will be used by QZ Tray to verify the authenticity of signed messages and to suppress the print warnings.

  • Private Key: (private-key.pem) Needed for signing messages. This allows silent printing.
  • Public Key: (public-key.txt) Not needed for printing, but is used to request new certificates.
  • Certificate: (digital-certificate.txt) Used on page load for silent printing.

Note: The certificate and the private key are generated by YOUR web browser. This means we never get a copy of it, and could never pretend to be you while we print.

  1. Now at that you have these keys, navigate to Signing Messages for instructions on how to securely sign messages.
