How to Activate COBRA Control Panel Licenses in the Gen 2 Control Panel App

Whether you're upgrading from the Gen 1 COBRA Control Panel, or moving your license key from one tablet to another, this document will guide you through the process to ensure the process goes smoothly so you can enjoy the features included in the Gen 2 Control Panel.

Step 1: Connect your 18R2 / Command Center to your tablet.

Connect your 18R2 or Command Center to your tablet:

  • Install the COBRA Gen 2 Control Panel
  • Once installed, go to the home page, you won't need to manually open the Control Panel app.
  • Connect your tablet to your 18R2/Command Center using your OTG Harness.
  • Upon successfully connecting, your tablet should either automatically open the Gen 2 Control Panel, or, it will prompt you to launch the Control Panel app.
  • You should now be connected to the COBRA Gen 2 Control Panel and see the Device List below:

Step 2: Open Show Controls.

The Device List doesn't require a license to use, however, to access Show Controls, you'll be presented with a green Login to COBRA Portal to Activate button. Tap this to open a Chrome window to login.
