Activating SOTI MobiControl

About this task

The first time you access the SOTI MobiControl console, you must activate SOTI MobiControl by providing a valid registration code. If you do not have a valid registration code, you can visit www.soti.net to sign up for a 30-day trial registration code. You can also contact your SOTI representative for a full registration code.

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

To activate SOTI MobiControl, do the following:

Procedure

  1. Launch the SOTI MobiControl console: In a web browser, go to the System Root URL or managementServiceAddress/MobiControl.
  2. On the Product Activation page, enter the registration code you received from your SOTI representative. Select Next.
  3. Create a password for the default administrator account for the SOTI MobiControl console. Select Next.
    This administrator account has top-level access and permissions, so it is important to choose a strong password and to be careful about sharing it. You have the opportunity to create lower access user accounts later.
  4. Log in to the SOTI MobiControl console using the credentials you just created.
  5. Accept the SOTI MobiControl End User Software License Agreement.

Results

SOTI MobiControl is now activated, and you can begin managing your devices.

Note: If your activation fails, SOTI MobiControl has a 30 day grace period for activation. Afterward, the software locks you out and the SOTI MobiControl console require you to enter an activation code each time you log in.
