Activating SOTI MobiControl

About this task

If you do not have a valid registration code, you can visit www.soti.net to sign up for 30-day trial registration code or contact your SOTI representative for a full registration code.

Note: If you want to activate an offline deployment of SOTI MobiControl, see Activating SOTI MobiControl Offline.
