This step is mandatory to use the Sanas app with *Auto-activation* mode. > [!WARNING] > ℹ️ **Important:** In addition to updating the Installer ID, you’ll also need to update the app activation mode to [Auto Activation](/v1/docs/sanas-auto-activation-document-updated). **What is an Installer ID, and why is it needed?** An Installer ID is a unique workspace identifier that helps Sanas to identify the Workspace and pre-configure the Sanas application before the user starts using it. Updating the Installer ID becomes essential when you wish to set up the credential-less app activation mode called [Auto activation](/v1/docs/sanas-auto-activation-document-updated) for users. To get your Installer ID: 1. Navigate to the [Download app](https://portal2.sanas.ai/download-app) page on the Sanas Portal, and ensure you’ve selected your desired Workspace. 2. Copy the **Installer ID** and save it securely. #### Updating the Installer for the already installed Sanas app > [!WARNING] > ℹ️ **Important**: The parameters mentioned in the command below are case-sensitive; ensure you copy them correctly. 1. Launch the *Windows CLI* as an administrator on your computer. 2. Run the command below to update the Installer ID for the already installed Sanas app. ```powershell reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Sanas.ai\Sanas" /v InstallerID /t REG_SZ /d "" /f ``` **Example**: `reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Sanas.ai\Sanas" /v InstallerID /t REG_SZ /d "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" /f` 3. Verify the update by navigating to the installation registry `(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Sanas.ai/Sanas)`, and ensure the value of the *Installer ID* parameter is present.![](https://cdn.document360.io/9bc36e9c-f402-4213-b56f-4ecdf805bb1a/Images/Documentation/image(610).png) 4. Close the current Sanas app session if it is already running, and then re-launch it. The app should activate now with *Auto-activation*. --- ### Support **Need help?** Get in touch with our [Support Team](mailto:support@sanas.ai) for assistance.
