Note: Show License opens the license URL in a separate browser window — the app's own window doesn't otherwise change. Which page opens depends on the package selected; it's usually a license file or page hosted alongside that package's own source.

  3. Click Save (highlighted). The app switches to Console and runs the command line tool to scan the platform support folder and generate one SPDX JSON file per package (plus the tool itself), bundling them into the .tar archive at the location you chose.

Note: SBOM stands for Software Bill of Materials — a machine-readable inventory of every component in the build, in the industry-standard SPDX format. Export SBOMs doesn't require picking a package first; it exports one for everything in the platform support folder at once.
