Activate HP Insights

Activating HP Insights gives you administrative access to your environment. Your system administrator signs in, accepts the End User License Agreement (EULA), checks access to the web console, and saves the Site Encryption Key. Do this once, before any other setup.

Before you begin

  • You've received the invitation email for the first system administrator account.
  • You have a password vault or secrets manager ready for the Site Encryption Key.

Activate your environment

1

Sign in

Sign in to the HP Insights web console using the administrator account associated with your provisioned environment.

2

Accept the EULA

The administrator must accept the End User License Agreement (EULA). Acceptance is recorded for the account that completes it.

3

Verify access

Verify that the administrator can access the web console and open Account Settings. Review the HP Insights Licensing Information page to verify your licenses, usage, and available features.

4

Save the Site Encryption Key

The Site Encryption Key is generated when your environment is provisioned. Save it before continuing because it is required to download, install, or reinstall Device Scout and Print Scout. See Save the Site Encryption Key.

Important HP Insights does not retain a copy of the Site Encryption Key. Store it in your organization's approved password vault or secrets manager. If the key is lost and must be regenerated, all deployed agents must be re-registered.

Result

  • Administrative access has been verified.
  • The EULA has been accepted.
  • Licensing information has been reviewed.
  • The Site Encryption Key has been securely stored.

Next step

Prepare the environment: set up identity and authentication, printers and the on-premises agents. See HP Insights Initial Setup.
