Confirm the account

Confirm the account

The desktop app must use the same LobeWork account connected to the plan. Sign out and sign back in if the displayed account is different.

Check the plan status

Check the plan status

Open Billing and confirm the subscription is active. A failed payment, ended subscription, or unresolved account issue can affect access.

Seat or device?

Confirm both parts of access

Organization access requires an active seat assigned to your verified account. Desktop activation separately requires an available device slot under that seat. Knowing a purchase code or another member's password does not authorize access.

Check activated devices

Check activated devices

Open Devices and review the computers already authorized. Remove a device you no longer use when the plan has reached its allowance.

Refresh the license

Refresh the license

Connect to the internet

Account and license refresh need access to LobeWork services.

Close LobeWork completely and reopen it.

Sign in again

Refresh the account session.

Open License Manager

Confirm the current plan and device status.

Moving to a new computer

Moving to a new computer
