Welcome to RG Nets! You now have the power to run the same technology deployed by the largest telcos and MSPs in the world. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps needed to be successful at adopting the rXg into your practice.
1. Register an Account

Looking for something to do in the mean time? Check out some of the resources available in section 3.
2. Obtain an Asset
RG Nets license process starts with an asset.
Once you have decided on your rXg configuration and completed the purchase either through our store or your normal purchasing channels, an asset will be loaded into your asset manager containing that configuration.
Go to asset managerTo obtain a license, you will first need an IUI (Individual Unique Identifier).
- Install the rXg software and obtain an IUI . The installation videos in section 4 can assist with this process.
- Once the rXg is installed, the IUI will be available on the admin page. The video in section 5 can assist with this process.
The rXg will automatically pull the license from your list of assets once the record has been updated, or you can copy the license directly from the portal and paste it into your rXg.
