Sign up with a signup code

Public self-service signup is closed during the alpha. An account is created by an invitation from an organization that already exists, or by a signup code, which an event or a partner hands you as a link. The code creates a new organization with you as its owner, on the plan the code names.

The signup page opens on a card naming the code, the date the code closes and the date the plan ends, then an email field. What the plan allows is on Settings, then Subscription, once you are in. A plan is one of two kinds. On a usage-based plan (the plan name wears a Usage-based badge) no device, benchmark-run or artifact limit applies: the page shows the credit balance and the spend, the data transfer and storage paid from credits, the offline-license count and the output retention. On a cap-based plan the page shows each limit beside its usage.

The five steps​

The wizard has five steps, and the account exists only after the last one:

  1. Email, then a password typed twice. The button reads Create account, but nothing is created yet.
  2. The terms and privacy consent boxes (tick the boxes themselves; the labels open the documents).
  3. Your name.
  4. Your organization's name.
  5. Your role.

Nothing is sent until you finish step 5, so "Check your email" is not true before it. Then verify: the mail arrives within a minute, and its link signs you in and lands on the organization's Default Project dashboard.

If the page sends you to sign in instead​

An address the platform already knows goes to the password step. Three cases:

  • You already have an account. Sign in; the code is for new accounts.
  • You were invited by an organization and never accepted. Use the invitation link from that mail, or ask the inviter to send it again. An address in that state cannot use a signup code; for a new organization, use another address.
  • You typed a wrong password. The page asks for an authenticator code even when the account has none; read the small print, go back, and use Forgot your password?. Repeated wrong attempts lock the account for about ten minutes.

An unregistered address at the ordinary sign-in page is told to contact support, with a Have a signup code? link back to this flow.

What you have now​

An organization on the code's plan, with you as owner, and an empty default project. Invite your team under Settings, then Organization (Roles says what each role may do), then add your first device.
