## Overview {#overview}

### What You'll Learn: {#what-youll-learn}

* Request Production access

### What you'll need: {#what-youll-need}

Before moving to Production:

* You must have a CIS project open.
* You must have received your CIS project number (CIS-xxxx-xxxx) from Mastercard.

### APIs Used in this Tutorial {#apis-used-in-this-tutorial}

* MDES Digital Card Art Service

## Select an existing project {#select-an-existing-project}

1. Log in to your Mastercard developers account and select the project.
2. Click **Open Project** to see the project details. ![Select an existing project](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/mdes-digital-card-art-service/documentation/tutorials/tutorial-5/sandbox_summary_page.png "Select an existing project")

## Request Access {#request-access}

1. On the Project summary page, click **Request Production Access**.

## Project Credentials {#project-credentials}

1. Enter **Key alias** and **Keystore password** . A key alias is a label for specific key within a keystore. Ensure that you make a note of the key alias and the keystore password as you will need this information when you send the API request to Mastercard. ![Project credentials](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/mdes-digital-card-art-service/documentation/tutorials/tutorial-5/production-credentails.png "Project credentials")
2. Click **Proceed**.

Note:   

* To use a custom CSR to generate the project keys, click **Skip this step**, and continue with the project creation.
* The OAuth keys can either be renewed or rotated. Refer to the [Renew OAuth Keys](https://developer.mastercard.com/platform/documentation/getting-started-with-mastercard-apis/renewing-your-keys/renew-oauth-keys/) topic for detailed instructions.

## Additional Credentials {#additional-credentials}

This section is to configure the data-level encryption and decryption keys.

1. As this service requires only the Client Encryption key, it will be generated automatically when you proceed. Click **Update Project** . The project key creation process starts and completes in a few seconds. ![Additional credentials](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/mdes-digital-card-art-service/documentation/tutorials/tutorial-5/additional-prod-credentails.png "Additional credentials") Note: Depending on the service you select, you will be able to generate additional credentials on this page.

## Download Production Keys {#download-production-keys}

1. To download the key information, click **Download key file** . ![Updating your project](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/mdes-digital-card-art-service/documentation/tutorials/tutorial-5/updating-prod-project.png "Updating your project") The key file has the following information:

* The OAuth Signing key - P12 file
* The client encryption key - pem file - Issuer will use the public key to encrypt data in the response.

2. Click **Open Project** to see the project details:
   1. Sandbox client ID
   2. Production client ID
   3. Project API Production status. ![Project summary](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/mdes-digital-card-art-service/documentation/tutorials/tutorial-5/prod-summary.png "Project summary")

The encryption key for the MDES Digital Card Art Service is displayed under the Production Credentials section.
Note: The encryption keys cannot be renewed after expiry. We recommend you add a new key before the existing key expires. Refer to the [Rotate a Client Encryption Key](https://developer.mastercard.com/platform/documentation/getting-started-with-mastercard-apis/renewing-your-keys/rotate-encryption-keys/#1-rotate-a-client-encryption-key) topic for detailed instructions.

## Ready to Test in Production {#ready-to-test-in-production}

You must retrieve your Mastercard API Production Client ID (part of the Consumer Key) and provide it to your CIS IM.

1. From the Mastercard Developers project summary page, navigate to Production Credentials.
2. Under OAuth keys, next to the consumer key, click the copy icon to copy the Consumer Key and provide it to your CIS IM. ![Production credentials](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/mdes-digital-card-art-service/documentation/tutorials/tutorial-5/prod-production-keys.png "Production credentials")

After you are onboarded to Production, you are ready to send requests to MDES Digital Card Art Service. Refer to the [API Reference](https://developer.mastercard.com/mdes-digital-card-art-service/documentation/api-reference/index.md) page for the URLs.
Note:
* If you see Production Status is "Under Review" or "Declined", contact the Mastercard implementation manager and request for approval.
* If Production Status is "Ready", then contact the Mastercard implementation engineer or manager for further onboarding.
