# Commercial features

HoloLens includes features that make it easier for businesses to manage HoloLens devices.

Every HoloLens 2 device has commercial features available.

HoloLens (1st gen) came with two licensing options, the developer license and a commercial license. To unlock HoloLens's commercial capabilities, upgrade from the developer license to a commercial license. To purchase the Microsoft HoloLens Commercial Suite, contact your local Microsoft account manager.

## Key commercial features

- **Kiosk mode.** You can use HoloLens in demo or showcase experiences by using kiosk mode, to limit which apps can run.

- **Mobile Device Management (MDM) for HoloLens.** Your IT department can manage multiple HoloLens devices simultaneously by using solutions such as Microsoft Intune. You can manage settings, select apps to install, and set security configurations that are tailored to your organization's needs.

- **Windows Update for Business.** Windows Update for Business provides controlled operating system updates to devices and support for the long-term servicing channel.
- **Data security.** BitLocker data encryption is enabled on HoloLens to provide the same level of security protection as any other Windows device.
- **Work access.** Anyone in your organization can remotely connect to the corporate network through virtual private network (VPN) on a HoloLens. HoloLens can also access Wi-Fi networks that require credentials.
- **Microsoft Store for Business.** Your IT department can also set up an enterprise private store, containing only your company’s apps for your specific HoloLens usage. Securely distribute your enterprise software to selected group of enterprise users.
