If you care about a warranty if you have one, then I wouldn't do this at all. Installing CM will certainly trip the KNOX e-fuse, permanently leaving it in the voided state (0x1).

Eek sounds like a nightmare.

I use Verizon. No clue if it works. Am skidling

You cannot unlock your bootloader without having the developer version of the phone. Installing CM is impossible to do so without unlocking the bootloader, as the original bootloader state does a check on if the integrity of the system is signed by Samsung/Verizon. There are ways to bypass the Verizon signature, but there are no ways known to bypass the system check for Samsung every bootup. The check happens before it even begins to boot Android, making it nearly impossible to create a workaround. Like the KNOX e-fuse, it is a hardware based check with no known way to avert the process.

tl;dr: You can try it, but you'll end up bricking your phone.
