Activation Code Management
IoT.live provides activation code lifecycle management capabilities for enterprise-scale eSIM deployments.
The platform supports:
- Activation code import
- Provisioning workflows
- Inventory management
- Lifecycle tracking
- Reuse prevention
- Automated orchestration
Activation code management is integrated into the broader eSIM orchestration and fleet management framework.

Activation code management overview
Activation codes are a core component of Remote SIM Provisioning (RSP) workflows.
The platform documentation describes support for:
- Large-scale activation code management
- Carrier-linked activation code workflows
- Automated orchestration
- Inventory visibility
- Provisioning lifecycle control
Activation code workflows may be integrated into:
- Manufacturing operations
- Enterprise onboarding
- Fleet provisioning
- Bootstrap connectivity workflows
Supported activation code workflows
The platform supports workflows including:
- Activation code import
- Activation code provisioning
- Activation code lifecycle management
- Activation code locking
- Reuse prevention
These workflows may be executed:
- Individually
- In bulk
- Through automation workflows
- Through asynchronous campaigns

Batch activation code import
The documentation references support for:
- Batch upload of large volumes of activation codes per carrier
This enables enterprises to:
- Pre-stage activation inventory
- Manage provisioning at scale
- Automate onboarding workflows
- Reduce manual provisioning operations
Typical onboarding workflows may include:
- Import activation code inventory
- Associate codes with CMP accounts
- Assign codes to provisioning campaigns
- Execute lifecycle orchestration
- Track activation usage status
Activation code reuse prevention
The platform includes controls designed to prevent:
- Duplicate activation code usage
- Re-provisioning of consumed codes
- Operational conflicts
The documentation specifically references:
- Prevention of reuse for activation codes already consumed in successful downloads
This improves:
- Operational reliability
- Fleet provisioning integrity
- Deployment tracking accuracy
Activation code locking
The platform documentation references:
- Locking activation codes pending download operations
This may be used during:
- Batch provisioning campaigns
- Scheduled provisioning workflows
- Async orchestration operations
Locking mechanisms help:
- Prevent concurrent conflicts
- Protect orchestration sequencing
- Ensure provisioning consistency

CMP-linked activation management
Activation codes may be:
- Attached to customer CMP accounts
- Managed through the MNO aggregation framework
- Associated with specific provisioning workflows
This enables alignment between:
- Connectivity management
- eSIM provisioning
- Lifecycle orchestration
- Subscription activation
Free-floating activation codes
The platform documentation also references support for:
- Free-floating activation code submission
This may include:
- Matching identifiers
- DP+ addresses
- Target profile ICCIDs
This enables more flexible onboarding and provisioning workflows across:
- Multiple carriers
- Multiple CMPs
- Multiple eIM environments
Activation code ordering
The documentation references future support for:
- Activation code ordering through supported CMP integrations
This may support:
- Automated provisioning pipelines
- Enterprise onboarding automation
- Carrier integration workflows
- Inventory replenishment
Operational orchestration workflows
Activation code workflows may integrate with:
- Profile download operations
- Enablement workflows
- CMP activation
- Rate plan assignment
- Batch campaigns
- Async orchestration
Typical orchestration workflow:
- Reserve activation code
- Execute profile download
- Enable profile
- Activate CMP subscription
- Assign rate plan
- Update inventory lifecycle state

Enterprise deployment scenarios
Typical activation code management scenarios include:
- Manufacturing provisioning
- Bootstrap profile distribution
- Global IoT deployments
- Enterprise onboarding
- Fleet migration projects
- Multi-carrier provisioning
Inventory visibility
The documentation identifies lack of activation code inventory visibility as a major operational challenge within traditional eSIM ecosystems.
IoT.live addresses this through:
- Centralised inventory management
- Lifecycle visibility
- Activation tracking
- Operational reporting
- Campaign integration
This improves:
- Operational transparency
- Provisioning governance
- Deployment control
- Enterprise scalability

Security considerations
Activation codes may provide access to:
- Provisioning workflows
- Carrier connectivity
- Live production subscriptions
Recommended controls include:
- Restricting activation code visibility
- Auditing provisioning workflows
- Securing imported activation inventories
- Monitoring async provisioning operations carefully
Activation codes should be treated as sensitive provisioning credentials.
Best practices
Recommended activation code management practices include:
- Use controlled import workflows
- Prevent duplicate activation usage
- Segment activation inventories logically
- Audit provisioning operations consistently
- Monitor async campaigns fully
- Secure activation inventory storage carefully
