Update WingtraPilot and follow the drone activation process

1. To create a customer account, you must first update your software to WingtraPilot 2.11 or higher. Ensure that both the tablet and drone software are updated. For step-by-step guidance on how to update, please refer to the article Update WingtraOne GEN II - wireless firmware update
   
2. After updating to WingtraPilot 2.11 or higher, a prompt should appear displaying the drone activation code and instructing you to create a customer account. 
   
3. If you don't see the prompt, you can find the activation code in the “System Overview.” In WingtraPilot 2.10, the code is referred to as the "Setup code," while in 2.11 and above, it's listed as the "Activation code."

Activate your drone

1. Go to my. wingtra.com and login to the customer portal.
   
   
2. On the pop-up click on "Activate drone now." If you prefer to activate the drone later, click on "Go to dashboard." From the dashboard, you can activate drones by selecting "Activate drone."
   
   
3. Enter the activation code of your drone. To find the activation code, follow the steps described under "How do I get the activation code?"
   
4. Check the licenses assigned by your vendor.
   Note: you can add more licenses to your drone as long as you have the license key. License keys can be purchased from your vendor.
5. All payloads registered with your drone will be displayed in the Sensor Overview window. Do not deregister already registered payloads. 
   
   You can select the payload used with the drone, if no payload is displayed. Register only newly bought payloads, as the registration will be used for the warranty activation. Selection of multiple payloads is possible.
   
6. Click Next. You should see a success message.
   
7. Go back to your tablet and finalize the drone activation in WingtraPilot by selecting "Check activation status."
