To sign in

1. To view the Sign in using Trimble ID screen, tap the icon in the Projects or Jobs screen.

   If the controller has only Trimble Access subscription apps installed and no licenses, the Sign in using Trimble ID screen appears the first time you start the software, and does not reappear on software start up unless you have previously signed out.

2. If you are the only person who uses Trimble Access on the controller and you regularly use cloud projects or jobs, select the Remember me check box so that you are already signed in when you start Trimble Access.

   If you are signing in to use your Trimble Access subscription, the subscription is locked to the controller until you sign out. In that situation, the Remember me check box has no effect.

3. Tap Sign in using Trimble ID. The Trimble Identity page opens in your browser.

   If you do not have a Trimble ID, tap Create an account to create one. Alternatively, tap Sign in with Google to sign in with an existing Google account, or click Sign in with Apple to sign in with an existing Apple account.

   To sign in with an existing Trimble ID:

   1. Enter your username.

      Your username is the email address you used when you set up your Trimble ID.

   2. Tap Next.

   3. Enter your password.

      To see the characters you are entering into the Password field, tap .

      If you have forgotten your password, tap Forgot password?

   4. If you have enabled Multi-Factor Authentication for your Trimble Identity account, you are prompted to enter the verification code that you have chosen to receive via SMS or via an authentication app such as Google Authenticator.

   5. The authentication successful message appears in your browser. You can close the browser tab and return to the Trimble Access software.

4. The Trimble Access software shows you are signed in. Tap the Back arrow to return to the previous screen.

   The software displays the Projects screen or the Jobs screen, if you signed in from there. The colored Trimble Connect icon in the title bar indicates you are signed in.

   If you are using Trimble Access subscription apps and signed in at software startup, the software displays the About screen, showing the subscriptions you have on the controller. Tap Accept to continue to the Projects screen.

To comply with Chinese data regulations concerning the upload of Chinese geospatial data to servers outside of China, Trimble Access prevents sign in to the Trimble Connect cloud platform if your IP address is determined to be in China.

To use Trimble Access apps for which you have a subscription, you must sign in using your Trimble ID. Subscriptions are locked to the controller until you sign out. To use your Trimble Access subscriptions on a different controller, you must sign out on the current controller.

To sign out, do one of the following:

• Tap the Trimble Connect icon in the title bar of the Projects screen and then tap Sign out.
• Tap and select About and then tap Sign out.

Occasionally you may not be able to sign in to use your Trimble Access subscription. This can happen if your subscription has lapsed, or if your subscription is locked to another controller.

If you cannot sign in then the software shows the serial number of the controller that is using the subscription, and warns that the software will run in limited mode. Tap Continue to use the software in limited mode.

In limited mode you can use the software to upload/download data from the cloud, open jobs and review them, and export data.

In limited mode you cannot open Trimble Access apps such as Roads or Pipelines, and you cannot connect the software to an instrument or a GNSS receiver.
