5.2 Activating a device

You can use the MyID Client for Mac to activate a device. For example, your organization may ship you a locked device; until you activate it using the MyID Client for Mac, no-one can use it.

Currently, the MyID Client for Mac supports the use of authentication codes for device activation.

Using this task requires access to the Activate Card workflow in Edit Roles.

To activate a device:

  1. Click the Tasks option.

    Activate Device

  2. Click the Activate Security Device task in the list.

    The MyID Client for Mac displays information about the target device that is required for this task.

    Activate Device

    For device activation, you must use a specific device; the MyID Client for Mac displays the device type and serial number of the device you need to activate.

    Note: Make sure you have an authentication code for device activation before you click Continue.
