## Logging in as the Server Administrator

Once you install Parallels Pro Control Panel 10.3.1, you can use your Web browser to access Parallels Pro Control Panel 10.3.1, then log in as the server administrator and manage tasks at the server level.

To log in as the server administrator:

1. Open an Internet Explorer (version 6.0 or later) window. Using other versions of Internet Explorer or other browsers to access the service provider control panel is not recommended.
2. In the Address field of your Web browser, type the URL: https://<server_name>/admin where <server_name> is the host name or IP address of the Parallels Pro Control Panel 10.3.1 server. If you are logging in to the Parallels Pro Control Panel for the first time, the EULA (End User License Agreement) page is displayed. If you have logged in before, skip the next step.
3. On the EULA page, click I Agree if you agree to the terms of the license agreement.

   The Log in page opens.

4. In the username text box, type admin.
5. In the password text box, enter the password that you entered during the installation process. For more information, see the installation instructions (page 1).
6. Click Log In.

   If the Parallels Pro Control Panel license registration failed, the browser displays a message stating the reason for the registration failure. The license registration fails for the following reasons:

   - Invalid license key: To resolve this issue, specify the correct license key in the browser window, and click Submit.
   - Communication problems with the Parallels Pro Control Panel License Manager: To resolve this issue, you can either click Continue in the browser window to use the product for an evaluation period, or click Register to specify the license key and register the license again.

     Important: If you click Continue to use the product for an evaluation period, you must register the license before the end of the evaluation period; otherwise Parallels Pro Control Panel stops functioning when the evaluation period expires.
     To register the license, you can click Register, and specify the license key when you log in again to the Parallels Pro control panel. If you are already logged into the control panel, you can use the Update License page to specify the license key and register the license.

     After the license registration is successful, the Server Administrator home page opens.

     The Server Administrator home page includes shortcuts to some important tasks you will perform at the server level such as creating and managing resellers and sites. Use the home page to view and perform these tasks. You can also access these tasks from the top and left navigation bars.
