Purchase a license, open the activation link in your purchase email, and verify your email. After activation, you can add an app icon to your phone, tablet or laptop.
Already installed? Open Mobile Service Card using its icon on your device.
Start from your own app icon.
Install once, keep the icon on your desktop, taskbar or Dock, then open your cards like a program. Use the browser in which you want to keep your cards.
Install app opens a supported browser’s installation prompt. Show installation steps displays the matching guide. An installed app, a desktop shortcut and a pinned taskbar icon are separate things; follow the desktop step for your browser.
01 / ACTIVATE THROUGH YOUR PURCHASE EMAIL
Have your license ready.
After purchase, keep your license key and the email address you used at checkout.
Open Open / Activate app in your purchase email. It opens Activate Vehicle with your license key and purchase email already filled in. For manual activation, enter both in the app.
Click Activate Vehicle. Open your email inbox and check Spam / Junk. In Verify your email, enter the six-digit code and click Verify. It is valid for ten minutes; Send New Code becomes available after one minute. Back to Activate Vehicles returns to your purchase details.
After activation, click Open App Now on iPhone or Android, then follow the Home Screen instructions below. On Windows, the MSC desktop-icon choice appears; on other devices, use the installation options. Each additional license has its own email link: activate the next vehicle without reinstalling or replacing existing cards.
One vehicle license works on up to three active personal devices. A second PC uses a separate slot. To add another browser on the same PC, create a pairing code in Vehicle Management → Manage Devices → Add browser to this PC. In the other browser on that PC, open the browser-pairing entry, select Add browser to this PC → Use a pairing code from another browser on this PC, enter your purchase details and pairing code, confirm the same PC and verify the email code. Ordinary activation does not ask you to choose a device type. Installation itself does not purchase or activate a license.
The link opens the actual Mobile Service Card app in another tab. You will see your cards or Activate Vehicle. Create your home-screen, desktop or taskbar icon from that app tab. This installation guide is only for reading; do not save it as your app.
iPhone / iPad · Safari
Open your purchase-email activation link in Safari on this iPhone or iPad. Check your License Key and Purchase E-Mail, click Activate Vehicle, enter the code from your email or Spam / Junk folder and click Verify. Then click Open App Now. Use the actual app tab at app.mobileservicecard.com, not this guide, for installation.
Tap Share (a square with an upward arrow). With a compact Safari toolbar, first tap Page Menu → Share.
Scroll through the share sheet and tap Add to Home Screen.
Keep the name Mobile Service Card, turn on Open as Web App if offered, and tap Add.
Add the new MSC icon and open it online within ten minutes to take over the browser activation. On supported Safari versions, the new installation can use the prepared activation transfer; no second key or email code is required.
Already have an MSC icon? If the installed app asks for activation, open that section in the activated browser and choose Copy activation transfer. If the offer is closed, use Vehicle Management → Manage Devices → Activate installed app on this device. In the installed app select Use browser activation, paste the transfer and confirm that both are on the same iPhone or iPad. This avoids another license key and email code. The private transfer lasts ten minutes and one use. Older Safari versions or an existing icon may need this manual transfer.

MSC desktop shortcut
Open https://app.mobileservicecard.com/ ↗ in the browser where your cards are activated. Keep this guide open. Save the actual app from that app tab, not this guide.
On Windows, after successful activation, choose Yes, set up icon in Add a desktop icon?. If already activated, open Fleet Overview → Vehicle Management → Create desktop icon.

Install the Firefox app window first: Mozilla’s illustrated instructions show Web Apps / Add tab to taskbar at the right end of a normal tab’s address bar. Click this button in the actual app tab before creating the MSC desktop shortcut. Firefox web apps require version 143 or later, or version 150 or later for Microsoft Store Firefox. Do not use the return-to-Firefox button in an existing app window to create a desktop shortcut.
MSC setup dialogs were inspected and shortcut creation was tested in an isolated Windows folder. Firefox’s native web-app installation has not been tested across all Windows browser versions; the link below is Mozilla’s verified documentation. No Start-menu folder is assumed.
Open your purchase-email activation link in Firefox on this Android device. Check your License Key and Purchase E-Mail, click Activate Vehicle, enter the code from your email or Spam / Junk folder and click Verify. Then click Open App Now. Use the actual app tab at app.mobileservicecard.com, not this guide, for installation.
Tap the three-dot menu beside the address bar, then Install.
In the Add to Home Screen panel, tap Add automatically, or hold the icon and drag it to the desired Home Screen position.
Open the MSC icon from the Android Home Screen. Add to shortcuts creates a shortcut inside Firefox’s start page; it is a different feature. Use the same browser profile in which you activated. A different browser or profile can require its own activation.
