# Configure an agent registration key

# Configure an agent registration key {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Configure an agent registration key so that you can deploy MID-less Agent Client Collector. Deploying MID-less Agent Client Collector enables you to use the MID Server for more persistent resources.

## Before you begin

Install the plugins necessary for deploying MID-less Agent Client Collector.

Role required: agent_client_collector_admin

## About this task

The Cleanup Agent Registration Keys scheduled job runs daily and deletes expired registration keys. The length of time for which a registration key is valid is controlled by the
sn_agent.registration_key_validity.days property, based on when the key was created. The amount of time that the customer is notified prior to upcoming key expiration is controlled by the
sn_agent.registration_key_notification.days property.

If a key's expiration date is approaching, create a new registration key and enter it into any existing automation jobs to prevent registration outage.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllAgent Client CollectorDeploymentAgent Registration Key.
2. Select New.
3. In the Name field, enter a descriptive name for the registration key.
4. **Optional:** To receive notifications when a registration key is soon to expire, select a group with a valid email address in the Ownership Group field.  
   When keys are deleted via the Cleanup Agent Registration Keys scheduled job, the indicated group receives an email notification.
5. Select Submit.
