A phone doesn't activate

What to do when the Venzeo mobile app shows a message instead of activating, or signs out of your organisation on its own.

This page is for the person activating the Venzeo™ mobile app and for the administrator who sent the invitation. Only administrators can send a new invitation.

When this happens

  • After you open the activation SMS link or scan the QR code, the app shows a message instead of activating.
  • The app signed out of your organisation on its own.

Fix

Find the message the app shows and do what the table says.

Message in the app What to do
Provided activation link expired. Please ask your Venzeo™ administrator to provide you with new activation link. or QR image includes expired activation link. Please ask your Venzeo™ administrator to provide you with new activation QR image. The invitation has expired or was already used. Ask your administrator to send a new invitation
This QR code is not from the Venzeo™ system. Please request an activation QR code from your admin of the Venzeo™ system. Scan the QR code that the administrator shows in Venzeo™, not another code
We couldn’t activate the Venzeo™ app using the URL from your clipboard. If you received an SMS with an activation link, please try clicking it again. Tap the link in the activation SMS again
Please connect to the internet and then try to activate the organisation again. Connect the phone to the internet and open the link again
The organisation could not be activated because the Venzeo™ server could not be reached. Please check your internet connection and open the activation link again. If that does not help, ask your Venzeo™ administrator for a new activation link. Connect the phone to a working Wi-Fi or mobile network and open the link again. If it fails again, ask your administrator to send a new invitation
Please finalise this report first before proceeding with the organisation activation. Finish or discard the open report, then open the link again
You have been automatically logged out. If you think this is a mistake, please contact your Venzeo™ administrator. Ask your administrator why. If they deactivated the device, they can send a new invitation. If your organisation is no longer active, a new invitation does not help: see Trial, licence and deactivation: common questions

To send a new invitation, an administrator follows Activating the mobile app on a device. That article also shows where to find SMS invitations that were never used.

Why it happens

Each invitation works only once and only for a limited time, so an old or used link cannot activate a device. A device that an administrator deactivated, or a device of an organisation that is no longer active, is signed out the next time it connects to Venzeo™.

If the app activated but its reports are not certified, see Reports show Warning! or no certification label.
