How activation works
Your LobeWork access belongs to your verified account. A personal purchase, redeemed code, or assigned organization seat can authorize the desktop app. LobeWork confirms both the person's seat access and whether the current computer fits within that seat's device allowance.
A seat is one person. A device activation is one computer used primarily by that person. LobeWork includes up to three authorized devices per named user.
Activate a device
Install LobeWork
Use the installer from your Downloads page.
Open the app
Choose Sign in when prompted.
Use the purchase account
Sign in with the account connected to the plan.
Name the device
Use a recognizable name such as “Studio desktop.”
Confirm access
Wait for the workspace to open and the plan to appear in License Manager.
Manage activated devices
Open Devices in your account to review active computers. Remove an old device before moving to a replacement when the plan has reached its device allowance.
Protect your account
Do not share your password, account, invitation link, or device allowance with another person. Organization members should accept the seat sent to their own email so password recovery, device management, and workspace privacy remain separate.
Offline use
Some local work can continue offline, but account changes, downloads, billing, and periodic access check may require a connection.
If activation fails
Wrong account
Sign out and use the email connected to the purchase.
No available device slot
Remove an old device from the account portal.
Billing issue
Review the plan status in Billing.
Temporary connection issue
Reconnect and try activation again.
