This article explains what the activation code is used for, its role during commissioning with the reev Companion, and where to find it in the reev product materials.
Note: The activation code is a convenience feature that simplifies the commissioning process but is not mandatory for integrating a charging station into the reev Platform. The activation code must not be confused with the license key.
Purpose of the Activation Code
The activation code uniquely identifies a charging station and enables faster and easier commissioning of the charging infrastructure. It is included with both reev Pre‑Configured and reev Connect products.
