Activating your Fleet Key

through the RoadLog Portal

If your computer is not able to connect to the Internet and the RoadLog

Portal, the Fleet Management Software will not be able to download the

.CID file needed to activate your Fleet Key.

If this is the case, you must use a computer that can connect to the

RoadLog Portal and use the Portal to manually register your company

and activate your Fleet Key. You will also need an email account that you

can access from the Internet-connected computer.

To perform a manual registration and .CID file download:

• Insert the Fleet Key into a USB port on the Internet-connected PC.

• Using the PC’s Internet browser, go to the RoadLog User Portal at

www.vdoroadlog.com/user and click on “Register.”

• Enter your company information in the fields shown. You’ll need to

know your company data, including your US Department of

Transportation (DOT) number and the serial number of the Fleet Key.

This serial number is available on the package of the Fleet Key and

in the file KEY_DATA.txt on the root directory of the Fleet Key.

Once you enter your registration information, an email with a

download link will be sent to the email address that you registered

with. Click on the link to begin the download. Save the download

as a file in your Documents folder. The downloaded file, with the

extension .CID, is your Company ID registration file.

• Copy this file to your Fleet Key’s “Company” folder. You can now

use your Fleet Key to launch the Fleet Management Software as

described above in Software Installation.
