Email

Each account must be associated with a unique email address, whether it is a client or professional account.

If you try to create an account and the address is already in use by a business account, you will receive one of these error messages.

When trying to create a professional


Request to release email

INACTIVE professional account

  • Write to our Hexperts with the name of the person and the email address to be released.

  • You can then create the account using the released email address.

Example of an inactive account

  • A customer who mistakenly created a free trial for a professional account.

  • A customer who previously had a professional or student account, but which has been deactivated.

ACTIVE professional account

  • When the account is still active, the account owner or a company super administrator must write to us in order to release the email address.

  • The person will then lose access to this professional account, but you will be able to use the email address to create the new account.

⚠️ Important

Professional accounts are linked to the business in which they were created. However, it is still possible to transfer certain information.

Alternative email

  • In order to keep all accounts active, you can create the professional under a different email address.

⚠️ Each account (professional and client) must have a unique email address.


Account disabled

If an account from your company have been deleted, you can ask a Hexpert to reactivate it. This is sometimes possible, although it is not guaranteed.
