2. After signing up, check your inbox for a verification email and click the link to confirm your address. You’ll also be asked to complete a short survey to finish setting up your account.
3. Once your account is ready, contact your **Sales representative** to request a Places license. When your license is activated, you’ll gain access to the **Places Dashboard**.
4. As a license holder, you can publish and manage immersive spaces through the Places Dashboard — your central hub for working with Places.\
   To switch to it, open the ShapesXR Dashboard, click the button next to your account icon, and select **Places**.
