No key listed? Make sure that your team’s registration has been renewed for the current season.

Note: The Coach  Key can only be activated once. If you have multiple teams, make sure to record which Key goes with each team's coach.

After activating a key, your licenses will be displayed with the type and end date of the license. Your type of license is determined by the team registration.

If this coach key is associated with a VIQC team, you will see VEX VIQC under "Type." If the coach key is associated with a VRC team, you will see VEX VRC under "Type," as shown in the image here.
