Creating an account

  1. To create a new account, choose your authentication method (without Yubikey or with Yubikey (coming soon)), enter your first name, last name, company name, and email address. You will also need to agree to the general terms of use and privacy policy.

    Please note that each email address can only be registered once. To reuse an existing account on a different computer, you will need to move your account

    The installation wizard

  2. When you create an account, the Management Console generates certificates that will be used to identify you in the future when communicating with the Management Server or your instances. These certificates are also used to secure communication to prevent unauthorized access to your data and IT/OT infrastructure. The public part of these certificates is stored on our Management Server, which enables licensing.

What’s next?

After installation, you can set up the UMH locally on your computer.
