How to activate a Plex token
To activate Plex for the first time, you will need to claim a token at the Plex website. Don’t worry, we’ll talk you through it. Remember, you only have 4 minutes to finish the process… but you can try as often as needed.
Plex in 3 steps
Plex is a little different from any of the other apps - you can't just visit the site and activate it. Instead, you will need to claim a token and paste it into your server.
Step 1: Get a token
Visit the site plex.tv/claim and click Copy to Clipboard.
Step 2: Paste token in Omni
Then head back to PuTTY and right click to paste. For now the process is still semi manually - you will need to type setup-plex to get started. We're working on integrating this in the menu!
Step 3: Visit your Plex site
Did you notice that the Plex claim website mentioned you only have 4 minutes to complete the claim? Yeah... that is not a lot of time! So as soon as the installation has finished, don't hesitate and run over to visit https://plex.yourdomain (use your actual domain of course).
You will be asked to log in, so please do just that.
You should be able to proceed and set up your Plex server:
Congratulations, Plex is installed and claimed as yours!
Troubleshooting
Note: if something goes wrong (for example the 4 minutes expire without being able to claim the server - or if your domain has not properly propagated yet), you can repeat this process as often as needed.
