Secure Desk Starter

Attended remote support for one technician, up to three unattended devices, and the same end-to-end encryption as every paid tier. Free forever — no card required.

Get your activation code

Tell us who you are and we will email your activation code. Your licence key is generated when you activate, because each key is locked to the deployment it runs on.

How activation works

  1. You get an activation code. Either from the form here, or by email after you buy a paid plan.
  2. Install the portal. Download the release and run install.sh on a Linux host — step-by-step guide.
  3. Read your Node ID. Sign in to your new portal and open Settings → License.
  4. Activate. Enter the code plus that Node ID on the activation page and we issue your licence key. Paste it back into Settings → License.

Your licence key is tied to the deployment it runs on, so it can only be generated after you install — that is why step 1 sends a code rather than the key itself.

Need more than one technician?

Starter covers a single technician and three devices. Compare paid plans for unattended fleets, SSO, branding and code signing.

What you are installing

One Linux host running Node.js and PostgreSQL. It serves the technician portal, the join page, the browser console and the WebSocket relay.
