Answers
Which email/username and password should I use?
You can access SWITCHdrive & engines with your SWITCH edu-ID account.
In case of problems
- make a password reset in your SWITCH edu-ID profile first
- check if you have registered for SWITCHdrive and/or SWITCHengines
Login failed - What should I do if I have an active SWITCH edu-ID account but can't access SWITCHdrive?
Got the following error whereas you can log in to your SWITCH edu-ID profile and used the correct email and password?
Just having a SWITCH edu-ID account is not sufficient to be allowed to use SWITCHdrive.
Your organisation must subscribe for the service and you have also to register for it - see the following instructions.
In case of doubt use the link "registered SWITCHdrive here" that you see in the error message.
NOTE:
- You need to link your SWITCHaai account to your SWITCH edu-ID identity first
- Then register for the SWITCHdrive service at https://cloud-id.switch.ch/. Once done the access button will become green.
How can I register for SWITCHdrive with a voucher?
You've got a voucher for SWITCHdrive (e.g. a link with form https://cloud-id.switch.ch/voucher/a52zh...)
Make sure to use it within 30 days (afterwards the voucher will expire).
NOTE: If you encounter problems as error messages, check first if you have selected "SWITCH edu-ID" as your organisation in the drop-down list and delete all browser cookies. Ev. start again the process (e.g. with your SWITCHdrive voucher or the SWITCH edu-ID registration token).
A step by step guide for use of vouchers can be found on the SWITCHdrive help site.
