NOTE: The LAC is valid only for one year at the moment. If you ordered a multi-year licence, the licence needs to be renewed each year. Let us know when the licence is about to expire so that we can renew the licence for the next year.
Use the LAC to submit the onboarding form at https://pms.cmnd.pro/.

Scroll down to CMND Reception section and click on “Chose this PMS”.
Select “I have already purchased a licence key and have a Hotel Key” and click on Next.
Enter LAC and site information, agree to T&Cs and click on Next.

The software activation code will be emailed to the email address used during registration (step 2.3). It may take up to three business days to receive the activation code.
