Activate Your Account

You can activate your account in the Oracle Cloud Console.

If you are a new Oracle Cloud customer, follow the steps to activate your account:

1. Open the email you received from Oracle Cloud, and review the details.
2. Click Create New Cloud Account at the bottom of the email.
   Your web browser opens, displaying the sign up form.
3. Enter First Name, Last Name, and Email Address. The email address is also the username for signing in to the account.
   • The user you specify here will be the first administrator to access the account and can create other users.
   • This user also has full administrator permissions in your organization's account.
4. Enter a Password and confirmation.
5. Enter a Tenancy Name. This is also called your cloud account name. When choosing a tenancy name, be aware of the following:
   • The tenancy name or cloud account name is used to identify your account.
   • The name is also used to create the URLs to access your cloud services.
   • Example: If your tenancy is "abccorp" the application URL might look like this:

     https://abccorp-oracleservice.service.us.phoenix-1.ocs

     The tenancy name must be unique, start with a lowercase letter and have no more than 25 lowercase letters or numbers. (You can't use spaces or special characters.)

6. Select a Home Region where your services will be hosted.
