What is Activation

For end users, activation is mainly for counting warranty. A printer can only be activated once. After activating the machine, it can be link to an user account for servicing purpose , to show who is the owner of the product. 

Without activation users are only limited to print for 32 times, so you have to activate the machine for unlimited use. 
 
A Tiertime user account and internet access are required to complete activation. After activation Tiertime printers can work offline with full functionality.
 

How to Activate your printer with your user account:

 

  1. Make sure your computer and UP Studio have internet access.

  2. Register an user account at www.tiertime.com (or register within software)

  3. Connect 3D Printer to your computer.

  4. Open software, Go to My Account to Login -> Go to Settings

  5. You will see a list of connected printers.

    Click Activate to finish the activation. You could also choose Bind or Unbind option in the your account under the Bind Status.

  6. Restart the printer after the activation.

    Same is happening to me. Installed it on two different systems and still won't log in.

    I checked firewall settings and they mirror up studio 2  I have on third PC

    which doesn't have  that problem.

    It would seem that for the Cetus2  NO ACTIVATION IS NEEDED.

    Because with Cetus2 the control is handled by Wand and slicing bu Uptudio3 the requirement for activation is no longer necessary.

    No the printer wont stop working after a certain number of prints.

    I got this as a response from Tiertime support , who i find the most helpful of all 3d printer manufacturers. And the fastest to reply.
