Claim a Catalyst On-demand license in TerraFlex

The ability to claim a Catalyst On-demand license is available directly in TerraFlex; this previously required you to close TerraFlex and open Trimble Mobile Manager, claim in Trimble Mobile Manager and then return to TerraFlex and refresh the license to use it in TerraFlex. You no longer need to manually open and close Trimble Mobile Manager each time you want to claim an On-demand license.

To claim a Catalyst On-demand license in TerraFlex:

  1. You must have TerraFlex version 2025.20 or later and Trimble Mobile Manager version 2025.13 or later installed on your device. You can download Trimble Mobile Manager from the Google Play or Apple App stores.

  2. You must be signed in to TerraFlex and Trimble Mobile Manager with the same Trimble ID for this to work correctly. If a you are signed into TerraFlex and Trimble Mobile Manager with different Trimble IDs, when you request to start an On-demand session in TerraFlex, the license page in Trimble Mobile Manager opens in the different account, so when you claim an On-demand license in Trimble Mobile Manager it will be under the wrong account and you won't see it in TerraFlex when you refresh the Licenses page.

  3. You must be online. If you are offline, the Catalyst On-demand section will not be displayed on the TerraFlex Licenses page. Instead a message is displayed: On-demand is not currently available because you are offline, please check your internet connection and refresh. Once you are online, tap Refresh licenses to show the Catalyst On-demand section on the TerraFlex Licenses page.

Follow the steps below to request an On-demand license in TerraFlex:

  1. Tap and tap Settings.

  2. Tap Licenses.

  3. The Licenses page opens, showing TerraFlex and Catalyst licenses. A Refresh licenses button at the top of the page shows with a timer below it showing the last time license was refreshed.

    • If you have a Catalyst free, Catalyst 10, Catalyst 30, or Catalyst 60 license, the Catalyst On-demand section displays. If you have an existing Catalyst 1 license then this section is not shown.

    • If Trimble Mobile Manager is not installed on the device, the Catalyst On-demand section is grayed out. A message indicates that Trimble Mobile Manager is required and a Download here link is displayed. Once downloaded and installed, the Catalyst On-demand section on the Licenses page in TerraFlex becomes available.

  4. Tap Start session to launch Trimble Mobile Manager.

    • If you have used Trimble Mobile Manager before, accepted permissions and are already signed in to Trimble Mobile Manager, the Trimble Mobile Manager license page opens.

    • If you have used Trimble Mobile Manager before and already accepted permissions and terms and conditions but you are not signed in, the sign-in page opens. Sign in with the same Trimble ID that you are signed into TerraFlex with; the Trimble Mobile Manager license page opens.

    • If you have not used Trimble Mobile Manager before and have just downloaded it, Trimble Mobile Manager launches and requests the usual permissions and acceptance of the terms and conditions. On the sign-in screen, sign in with the same Trimble ID that you are signed into TerraFlex with. The Trimble Mobile Manager license page opens.

  5. In the Trimble Mobile Manager license page, tap Start new session, specify the session length you want to claim then tap Claim. Your On-demand session will begin.

  6. Once an On-demand session has been started in Trimble Mobile Manager, return to the TerraFlex Licenses page using any of the following methods: tap the back arrow in Trimble Mobile Manager next to the Licenses header; through app selection on both iOS and Android; use the iOS back arrow at the top left of the navigation bar.

    In the TerraFlex Licenses page, the Catalyst On-demand section now shows the Catalyst license Catalyst 1 On Demand and a timer (as it does in Trimble Mobile Manager) displaying the remaining time in your session.

  7. If required, you can extend your On-demand session:

    1. Tap Extend. The Trimble Mobile Manager license page opens.

    2. Enter the time you want to extend your session by, then tap Extend.

      In TerraFlex, the On-demand timer will be updated to reflect the new session length. When the On-demand session runs out, the Start session option returns, replacing the Extend option.
