# Moving to Production
source: https://developer.mastercard.com/mdes-digital-enablement/documentation/tutorials/prod-create-project/index.md

## Overview {#overview}

After successfully testing in the MTF environment, you are ready to move your project to the Production environment.

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

* Get access to the Production environment
* Move your project to Production and go live

### 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.
* You must have completed testing in the Sandbox (MTF) environment.

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

* MDES Digital Enablement API

## Log in and Add API to existing project {#log-in-and-add-api-to-existing-project}

1. Log in to your Mastercard developers account and select the project.
2. Under the Production access prerequisites section on your project summary page:
   * **Verify your company details** . This ensures your company is registered to do business with Mastercard. You can follow the steps in the [Company Verification guide](https://developer.mastercard.com/platform/documentation/account-management/company-verification/) to complete this step. ![Project dashboard company verification screen](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/mdes-digital-enablement/documentation/tutorials/tutorial-5/deverifycompanydetail.png)

## Request Production Access {#request-production-access}

1. On the Project summary page, click **Request Production access** . ![Project dashboard summary screen](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/mdes-digital-enablement/documentation/tutorials/tutorial-5/desandboxprojectsummary.png)

## Additional Service Details {#additional-service-details}

1. Provide additional service details including Entity name, Customer ID, Security Officer details, and Push API Endpoint. ![Additional service details fields](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/mdes-digital-enablement/documentation/tutorials/tutorial-5/deprodaddservicedetails.png)

Note: Push API Endpoint is a valid endpoint (URL + TCP Port + Context Root) for MDES to use when sending Production service requests to the customer in the Push API Endpoint. An example might look like: `https://www.mycompany.com:8543/prodweb`.

2. Click **Proceed**.

## 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. ![Add Sandbox consumer key alias and password](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/mdes-digital-enablement/documentation/tutorials/tutorial-5/deprodaddprojectcreds.png)
2. Click **Proceed**.

Note:   

* If you are using a CSR to generate the project keys, click **Skip this step** , and continue with the project creation. Refer to generating [Adding Keys and CSR](https://developer.mastercard.com/mdes-digital-enablement/documentation/tutorials/add-key/index.md).
* OAuth keys are credentials your application uses to authenticate with the MDES Digital Enablement API. 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. MDES Digital Enablement API uses [Mastercard encryption](https://developer.mastercard.com/platform/documentation/security-and-authentication/securing-sensitive-data-using-payload-encryption/).

1. Provide **Key alias** and **Keystore password** for Mastercard Encryption Key. The project key creation process starts and completes in a few seconds. ![Confirm Sandbox client encryption key will be generated](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/mdes-digital-enablement/documentation/tutorials/tutorial-5/deprodaddadditinalcreds.png)
2. Click **Submit** to generate the key. The project key creation process starts and completes in a few seconds.

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

1. To download the key information, click **Download key file** . ![Create project loading icons and download keys button](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/mdes-digital-enablement/documentation/tutorials/tutorial-5/decreatingyourproject.png) 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.
* The Mastercard encryption key - P12 file - Issuer will use this to decrypt the sensitive data encrypted by Mastercard in the payload sent by Mastercard.


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. 2. Click **Open project** to see the project details:

<br />

1. Sandbox Client ID
2. Production Client ID
3. Project API status ![Project dashboard summary screen](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/mdes-digital-enablement/documentation/tutorials/tutorial-5/deprodprojectsummary.png)

The encryption key for the MDES Digital Enablement API is displayed under the Production Credentials section.

## Ready to Move to Production {#ready-to-move-to-production}

1. From the Mastercard Developers project summary page, navigate to the Summary section. ![Copy Production consumer key](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/mdes-digital-enablement/documentation/tutorials/tutorial-5/deproductionclientid.png)
2. Copy the Production client ID and provide it to your CIS IM.

After you are onboarded to Production, you are ready to send requests to MDES Digital Enablement API. Refer to the [Environment Domains](https://developer.mastercard.com/mdes-digital-enablement/documentation/environment-domains/index.md) page for the URLs.
Note:   

* If you see Production Status is "Under Review" or "Declined", please 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.
