If you have an on-premise (self-hosted) instance, you can procure apps from the ServiceNow Store. Download encrypted apps and products to install on your instance, or connect your instance to the ServiceNow Store to sync purchases with your instance directly.

## Overview of using the ServiceNow Store for on-premise instances {#getting-apps-on-prem__cf-using-parent-workflow}

If you have an on-premise instance, there are two ways that you can procure apps and products from the ServiceNow Store.

* Use a computer with network access to download encrypted application files, and then transfer those files to your on-premise instance.
* Connect your on-premise instance to the ServiceNow Store to sync purchases with your instance and make them available for installation. Contact [Customer Service and Support](https://support.servicenow.com/now) to connect your instance to the ServiceNow Store.

## Procuring apps and products without connecting to the ServiceNow Store {#getting-apps-on-prem__section_xlw_d5w_s2c}

Use the following steps to procure apps and products without connecting your instance to the ServiceNow Store.

1. [Get an app or product as an on-premise customer](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/xIZzs1_rkIoKMX9bgB4ekg "Procure and download encrypted apps, products, and dependencies from the ServiceNow Store for use with your on-premise (self-hosted) instance.")

   Procure and download an encrypted app from the ServiceNow Store for use with your on-premise instance.
2. [Upload an app to an on-premise instance](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/dY1bDvsfX6fgt~ADGEw6Ig "Upload an application's encrypted file to your on-premise instance to make it available for installation.")

   Upload an application's encrypted file to your on-premise instance to make it available for installation.
3. [Install the app or product using the Application Manager](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/9EVk_zFJIw0KwkkYA4mfhA "Application Manager enables you to install any applications, plugins, or products that are included in your license or that have been procured from the ServiceNow Store.")

   After uploading the encrypted app file, use the Application Manager to install the application to your on-premise instance.
