  2. Activate your account (via e-mail activation link you received)
  3. Once you have activated your account, simply launch the HCP Cockpit
  4. Now go to Services tab, search for “Mobile Services”, locate and click on “App & Device Management.

5. Click Enable to enable the mobile service (the service provisioning may take up to fifteen minutes or more).

6. Once the service is activated. Click “Go to Admin Console” to get started.
