When launching the application for the first time, [add the workspace](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/workspaces/create-a-workspace/) containing the serial. {% tabs %} {% tab title="Windows" %} ### Registration 1. To add a license serial to the workspace, navigate to ***Administration*** – ***Licenses***. 2. Click ***Add license***. ![](https://cdnweb.devolutions.net/docs/docs_en_rdm_windows_RDMWin2236.png) 3. Enter the license serial in the ***License*** field or import the license file using the ***Import*** button. ![](https://cdnweb.devolutions.net/docs/RDMW4373_2025_2.png) 4. **Optional**: Check the ***Auto assign*** box to automatically provide the Remote Desktop Manager serial to all newly created users. ![](https://cdnweb.devolutions.net/docs/RDMW4374_2025_2.png) 5. Click ***Assigned to*** in the left menu. 6. Click ***Assign all*** or select in the ***Assigned*** column who should have a Remote Desktop Manager serial access. This step will automatically assign the license to the selected users, removing the need to interact with each user. ![](https://cdnweb.devolutions.net/docs/docs_en_rdm_windows_RDMWin2237.png) 7. Click ***OK*** and close the ***User and security management*** window. ### Offline registration If you need to register your license while offline (if internet is disabled or if for whatever reason you cannot reach the servers), you can only do it by [importing the **.lic** file provided to you](https://docs.devolutions.net/portal/licenses/), which contains a JSON Web Token (JWT). ### Request a free trial The [Devolutions store](https://store.devolutions.net/package) proposes two types of [14-day free trials](https://docs.devolutions.net/resources/getting-started-packages/free-trials/): [Remote Desktop Manager free trial](https://devolutions.net/remote-desktop-manager/trial/) and the [Starter Pack free trial](https://devolutions.net/solutions/starter-pack/trial/). The former gives you access to Remote Desktop Manager and all its functionnalities, and the latter lets you experience Devolutions' entire platform. {% endtab %} {% tab title="macOS" %} ### Registration 1.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/getting-started/installation/client/registration.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
