Hi Microsoft,

We have made a simple Windows Store app which we intend to use in-house, without publishing it to Windows Store.

What are the prerequisites for the app and the machine (Windows Surface Pro with 8.1) to make this work?

The machine will finally have no connection to internet. It will basically run standalone with the app in kiosk mode.

It's simple enough to install the app with a developer test licence, but I seems to stop working after about 30 days.

If you have all updates to the OS installed (including the Windows 8.1 Update 1) you can either join the device to an Active Directory Domain or purchase a $100 Enterprise sideloading key.

You can find more information on how to enable sideloading in this blog post: http://blogs.windows.com/itpro/2014/04/03/windows-8-1-update-sideloading-enhancements/
