After you have approved the activation request in Manufacturing Connect, return to Manufacturing Connect Edge to verify the activation was successful. 

The verification includes the following:

- System API key created. 
- Identity Certificate created. 
- MQTT connector created. 
- Google Pub/Sub connector created with custom attribute of *mce\_hostname*. The ability to create custom attributes in the Google Pub/Sub connector will be available in Manufacturing Connect Edge version 3.10.0 and later. 

**To verify that the activation was successful:**

1. From the navigation panel, select **System** > **Tokens**.
2. From *REST API* Keys, verify the creation of a **System API key (read only)**.

3. From the navigation panel, select **System** > **Certificates > Identity.**

5. From the navigation panel, select **Integration**. 
6. Review and confirm one of the following. 
   - For Manufacturing Connect version 2.11.0 and earlier, confirm that the default MQTT integration connector displays and isn't enabled. 
   - For Manufacturing Connect version 2.12.0 and later, confirm that two default connectors display: *MQTT* disabled and *Google Cloud Pub/Sub Connector* enabled. The Google Cloud Pub/Sub connector should have a custom attribute with a key of *mce\_hostname* and the hostname value, which includes the MAC address.
