# Activation codes The **Activation codes** page allows you to view, find, create, and edit activation codes for activating your trackers in the device activation wizard available either in [User details](https://www.navixy.com/docs/admin/users/user-details) or in the Navixy platform. For more information about this process, see [Activate GPS device](https://www.navixy.com/docs/user/guide/quick-start/activate-gps-device).
The page consists of three main sections: * **Code toolbar:** A toolbar used to easily create, find, and edit activation codes * **Codes list:** A list of existing activation codes formatted as a table * **Code details:** Information about the selected activation code ## What are activation codes? Activation codes are unique 10-digit random numbers that restrict the process of adding a new tracking device to a user's account. This process is typically utilized to prevent users from activating devices purchased from sources outside of your organization.

Here, you can create any number of codes, set the bonus and free days for them, and select the tariff plan you want to use. ## Using activation codes If you enforce the usage of activation codes for your users, the activation process is generally the same as for other methods. The only difference is the user will have to enter the provided code into the **Activation code** field during step 3 of the device activation process:

You can link activation codes directly to specific [device plans](https://www.navixy.com/docs/admin/plans) to automate the onboarding process. When a user activates a device using a code, the system automatically configures the appropriate access levels and features. This feature is disabled by default.
