I have finished the activation guide and it worked but I still cannot log in

It can take a few hours before the information filters through all servers.  If you cannot login directly, wait an hour or two and try again.  If after that you still cannot login, contact Servicedesk.

I clicked on the “back” button and now cannot continue

Unfortunately during the activation process you cannot click on the “back” button,  This invalidates the temporary activation codes.   Activation codes are a one-time code.  Contact Servicedesk and ask for new activation codes to be sent to you.

I have not received the activation codes to my email

Activation codes are sent via email (at the beginning of each term they are sent via regular mail to your registered home address) to the address you wrote in.  If you do not receive the activation codes to that address, contact Servicedesk and ask that they send out new codes to a different address.

I cannot login with my temporary identity

The temporary activation codes sent to you are one time codes and used ONLY to activate your permanent UmU-ID.  You cannot login anywhere with them.  Surf to the following address and start the activation guide. https://www.servicedesk.its.umu.se/Activation/Guide/Default.aspx
