Troubleshooting

The organization name field is required

If the organization name is missing, the onboarding page will show a validation message. Enter the organization name and continue.

The Next button is disabled

Make sure all required fields on the current page are completed. Required fields are marked with an asterisk.

The selected region is not available

If you are unsure which region to select, choose the region closest to where your users will access their Softdrive virtual machines. If additional guidance is needed, contact Softdrive Support.

You did not receive the welcome email

Check your spam or junk folder. Also confirm that the email address entered during the owner account creation step is correct.

You cannot log in after onboarding

Verify that you are using the same email address and password created during the owner account setup step. If MFA was enforced, make sure the required MFA steps are completed.
