# Register a Device (On-Premises Only)
In the on-premises version of our system, administrators must register devices before they can be added. This process is necessary because on-premises installations lack access to our manufacturing database, which is utilized for device registration in the public instance. Here's how administrators can register a device:
Accessing Device Registration:
- Navigate to the dashboard interface.
- Click on the "+" icon located above the dashboard table.
Registration Process:
Upon clicking the "+" icon, administrators will be directed to the device registration interface.
Administrators will notice an additional tab labeled "Register Device."
Fill in the required details about the device in this tab.
API Endpoint:
- Additionally, administrators have the option to register devices programmatically using the API endpoint designated for device registration.
By following these steps, administrators can efficiently register devices in the on-premises version of our system, ensuring seamless integration and management within their environment.
