Frequently asked questions#
Getting started with Anaconda#
What do I get from this tier that I don’t get from the free tier (Anaconda Distribution)?
Secure access to our commercial package repository, with a new URL and token for access
Compliance for commercial use according to the Anaconda Terms of Service
Ability to leverage mirroring software to create copies of the commercial package repository (Site license only)
Policy filters and virtual channels (Business tier only)
Can I still keep my Anaconda Distribution account?
Yes, as long as your Anaconda Distribution account is used for non-commercial activities.
Does my personal email address associated with my account follow me to my corporate membership?
It can, but Anaconda recommends using your corporate email so your admin can track all tokens in use.
Setting up and managing your Anaconda account#
How do I verify my account?
Accounts are verified through a link that is sent to the email address you used to sign up.
What happens if I do not receive an email verification?
If you work for a company with strict firewall protections, your verification email may be delayed. Check your email’s spam folder in case it was delivered there. If you don’t find it in your spam folder, please submit a ticket.
Note
Your verification email link must be used within 24 hours. If not, you must generate a new verification email.
What happens if I get an error after clicking the verification link?
Please submit a ticket for account-related questions.
Does my password expire?
No, your password will not expire.
How long will my login remain active?
Anaconda Cloud allows you to remain logged in until it detects one hour of inactivity. After that, you will need to sign in again.
Authenticating Anaconda#
How do I obtain my access token?
For individual subscribers, a private token will be sent to the email address associated with your Anaconda Cloud account.
For organization members, you can issue yourself a token by following instructions provided here after you have been assigned a seat.
What happens if I lose my access token?
For individual subscribers, you can re-issue yourself a new token here.
For organization members, you can re-issue yourself a new token by following instructions provided here.
Caution
Requesting a new token will revoke and deactivate your existing token’s access. Remember to update your access token by running the
conda token set <TOKEN>command.
Do I ever need to update my access token?
If you are transitioning from an individual user license to a site license, you will need to update your access token. A site licence will provide you with a token that anyone in your organization can use to access the repository.
What if I need multiple access tokens, like for a team of users?
If you need multiple tokens for your team, each team member must create an Anaconda Cloud account to obtain an access token.
What happens if someone else uses my token?
If you suspect someone else is using your token, you should immediately re-issue yourself a token. This will deactivate your previous token and revoke it’s access. See What happens if I lose my access token.
How do I prevent unauthorized access?
Keep your access token private and secure.
What do I do if my access token does not work?
Please submit a ticket for account-related questions.
When does my token expire?
Your token’s expiration date is based off your subscription’s expiration date. However, renewing your subscription will not extend the life of your token. If you renew your subscription, you will need to sync your token to extend its life to your new subscription expiration date.
