During the final steps of installing and configuring your BIMcloud Basic, you must activate it.
Start the activation process in the browser-based Manager interface
The home page of the browser-based Manager interface notifies you to activate your BIMcloud Basic. Click on the green Activate button which forwards you to the Licenses panel of the Servers page.
Here you can see that your BIMcloud Basic is not activated yet. Click on the green Activate button to start the activation process.
Sign in with your Graphisoft ID
A Graphisoft ID is required for the activation. If you are not sure about your Graphisoft ID, visit the https://id.graphisoft.com/ website where you can reset your password or register a new one. You can also reset or create your Graphisoft ID account during the Activation process.
If you have a Graphisoft ID set up, the remaining steps are quite intuitive:
- Click on Continue at the opening Activation page.
- Sign in to your Graphisoft ID account with your email address and password.
- Make sure that your BIMcloud Basic account details are correct, then click on Activate.
- On the last page, press Start BIMcloud Basic to finalize your activation.
It is not critical whose Graphisoft ID you use for the Activation process. It could be anyone in the company and has no bearing on privileges or use of the BIMcloud Basic thereafter. It is just a one-time initial activation.
Note that if you attempt to activate your BIMcloud Basic while already signed into your Graphisoft ID, the process will automatically recognize that account for the activation.
Reactivate with a different Graphisoft ID
Although it is not critical whose Graphisoft ID you use to activate your BIMcloud Basic, you can later change it and reactivate with a different Graphisoft ID if needed.
In the BIMcloud Basic Manager settings (where you started the Activation process previously), you'll now see the currently assigned user and an Activate with different Graphisoft ID option, replacing the previous green Activate button.
Clicking on it will take you through the same activation steps, allowing you to select a different Graphisoft ID.
Just like with the initial activation, if you attempt to reactivate your BIMcloud Basic while signed into the currently assigned user’s account, the process will automatically recognize that Graphisoft ID and skip the sign-in step. To activate with a different Graphisoft ID, be sure to sign out first.
