Quick Start: Accessing Aura

Follow these steps to prepare your account, install Aura, and begin processing with Concurrent User Licensing.

Step 1: Verify license availability

Aura 2.0 and later uses Concurrent User Licensing.

• Confirm your organization has an active Aura license.

• Ask your project lead or Emesent license administrator if you are unsure.

• Learn more about Aura Concurrent User Licensing

Step 2: Activate your Emesent account

You need an Emesent account linked to your organization’s license.

• Your organization’s Emesent license administrator will invite you by email through Emesent User Management.

• Accept the invitation and set your password.

• If you do not know who your administrator is, complete the Transition Contact Form and a member of Emesent will contact you.

Step 3: Install Aura software

Ensure your computer meets the system requirements for Aura.

• Install Aura 2.0 or later.

• Installation files are available:

  • From the Welcome to Emesent page in the User Management after login

  • From the Emesent Software Downloads page

  • Through your organization’s software distribution system, if applicable

Step 4: Sign in to Aura

• Open Aura and click the User Profile menu in the top right corner.

• Select Log In and enter the Emesent account credentials you set up in Step 2.

• For detailed guidance, see How to Log In to Aura.

Step 5: Begin data processing

• Once logged in, Aura automatically checks out a seat from your organization’s license pool when you start processing.
