Meta Horizon Managed Services (HMS)

As of February 20, 2026, Meta Horizon Managed Services (HMS) is available at no cost. Long-term device provisioning, configuration, lifecycle management, and operational support remain critical for organizations deploying Meta Quest at scale.

This product reflects the real-world reality of enterprise and education XR deployments: while the HMS platform itself is free, organizations still need expert setup, device preparation, enrollment, policy configuration, and ongoing management to ensure their fleet remains usable, secure, and efficient through 2030 and beyond.

This listing is not just a software license. It represents a managed provisioning and device lifecycle service powered by Knoxlabs, built around Meta Horizon Managed Services.

We handle the operational complexity so your team doesn’t have to — from first unboxing to long-term management.

• Meta Quest 3
• Meta Quest 3S

Hardware is sold separately. HMS access is free, but correct deployment, enrollment, and management are not automatic.

Important: HMS (EDU or Work) must match your Meta Admin Center account type. Once a device is enrolled and activated, that assignment is permanent.

With HMS free, organizations still face challenges:

• Initial device enrollment and reseller linking
• Bulk provisioning and Shared Mode configuration
• Network, Wi-Fi, and security policy setup
• App deployment and content control
• Ongoing fleet changes, replacements, and resets

This product exists to cover those realities — and to give you access to Knoxlabs’ hands-on provisioning and device management expertise.

• Device Provisioning & Enrollment
  Headsets are linked, enrolled, and prepared correctly before use — or even before shipping.
• App & Content Deployment
  Approved apps are installed, blocked content is restricted, and environments are standardized.
• Security & Network Setup
  Wi-Fi, certificates, PIN policies, OS update timing, and access rules are configured correctly.
• Shared Mode Configuration
  Optimized setups for classrooms, labs, demos, and training environments.
• Remote Actions & Lifecycle Support
  Resets, replacements, policy changes, and device transitions handled as your fleet evolves.
• MDM & Platform Compatibility
  Works alongside ArborXR, ManageXR, Intune, Ivanti, and VMware when needed.

Meta still requires organizations to be linked to a reseller for provisioning and support.

Steps:

1. Log in to the Meta Admin Center
2. Go to Products & Billing
3. Select Get activation code under Connect with a new reseller
4. Send the code to hello@knoxlabs.com or paste it during checkout

This links your organization to Knoxlabs so we can provision, configure, and manage your devices.

If you’ve worked with Knoxlabs before, you can simply provide your Activation Code or Community ID.

1. Your devices are linked using your Activation Code or Community ID
2. Provisioning and configuration are applied
3. Your Admin Center reflects the managed setup
4. You receive confirmation once devices are ready

For pre-enrollment, kitting, labeling, or shipping-ready configurations, contact hello@knoxlabs.com.

Is HMS really free?
Yes. Meta has made HMS platform access free. This product covers provisioning, setup, and management services.

Do devices still work without management?
Yes — but without provisioning and management, you lose centralized control, consistency, and operational efficiency.

Is this a software license?
No. This product represents managed services and operational support around HMS.

Can Knoxlabs manage large fleets?
Yes. We specialize in bulk deployments, renewals, replacements, and long-term fleet management.
