Some paid receipts do not start on the day of the payment: their Secure GPS license is scheduled for a future date, so it does not overlap the license you still have. If you need that license sooner, you can start it today from the receipt with Activate Now.
When a receipt is scheduled
The most common case is a line renewal with a Secure GPS plan: each license starts on the day its line expires, and each later date has its own activation receipt with the note Included in the receipt. In the Receipts and Invoices list, the Date column of those receipts shows the activation day.
A scheduled receipt shows at the top the notice This invoice is scheduled to activate, with how long is left and the date, and the Activate Now button.
When it is worth activating it
- You have devices without a license today, for example new trackers or devices whose previous license already expired, and you do not want to wait for the scheduled date.
- The previous license of those devices is gone, but the line expires later and that is why the receipt was scheduled for that date.
- You want all the licenses of a renewal to start and expire on the same day.
When it is better to wait
If the devices already have a current license, activating now makes both run at the same time until the previous one expires. The new license expires one year after today instead of one year after the scheduled date, so you use the days you paid for sooner. If you do not need more licensed devices today, let it start by itself on its date.
Step by step
- In My Account , Receipts and Invoices section, open the scheduled receipt with the button.
- Check the This invoice is scheduled to activate notice and the date.
- Click Activate Now.
- Confirm the message Are you sure you want to activate this invoice now?
You will see Invoice activated successfully. The license starts today, expires in a year and its devices are added to the licensed devices of your account within a few minutes.
Keep in mind
- It cannot be undone: the receipt does not go back to its scheduled date.
- It only appears on paid receipts that have not started yet.
- It activates only that receipt. In a line renewal, each date has its own receipt: activate each one you need.
- If, when renewing lines, you already know you need all the licenses today, check Activate the Secure GPS licenses now before paying: that way no receipt is scheduled.
