Activate your account

Before you can sign in to Real-Time LCA, you need to activate the user that was created for you. Activation links you to an authentication method — either a Real-Time LCA password or your Microsoft 365 account — and confirms your identity.

​

Before you start

You need:

• An activation email from support@realtimelca.com with the subject Activate your Real-Time LCA user.
• Access to the inbox the email was sent to.

​

Step 1: Open the activation email

Open the Activate your Real-Time LCA user email and click Activate your user. If the button does not work, copy the link below it and paste it into your browser.

​

Step 2: Choose how to activate

The activation link takes you to Activate your account. You can either set a Real-Time LCA password or activate with your Microsoft account. By activating, you agree to the Terms and Privacy Policy linked at the bottom of the form.

​

Step 3: Meet the password requirements

As you type, each requirement turns green when satisfied. Your password must contain:

• At least 8 characters
• At least 1 number
• At least 1 special character
• At least 1 lowercase letter
• At least 1 capital letter
• No 3 or more recurring characters

The Activate button stays disabled until every requirement is met and the two password fields match.

​

Step 4: Confirm activation

When activation succeeds you see a confirmation screen, and the browser redirects to the Real-Time LCA app shortly after.

​

A second email: your Speckle credentials

Alongside activation, Real-Time LCA automatically provisions a Speckle user for you on our own Speckle server and sends a follow-up email with the server URL and a temporary password. You only need this if you plan to connect a design authoring tool (Revit, Rhino, ArchiCAD, Grasshopper) to Real-Time LCA — otherwise you can ignore it. See Introduction to Speckle for the install steps and how the connection fits together.
