EduIgnite Companion is a separate, smaller app, not a replacement for EduIgnite Mobile. If your technical admin already has the full Mobile app installed, they don't need Companion too: Mobile's built-in Companion tools do the exact same job.

How it works

  1. 1Download the app.
  2. 2Sign in with the matricule your school gave you.
  3. 3Scan the QR code shown on the school's EduIgnite Offline desktop app to activate or renew its license.

Only your school's technical admin needs this app. Students, teachers and parents should download EduIgnite Mobile instead.

Why a separate app

One job, nothing extra to install

EduIgnite Mobile already includes Companion tools for scanning EduIgnite Offline's QR codes. EduIgnite Companion does the same single job on its own, for schools whose technical admin isn't a student, teacher or parent, and would rather not install the full Mobile app just to activate a license.

Already have EduIgnite Mobile?

You do not need Companion as well. Open the Companion tools inside EduIgnite Mobile and scan the Offline Desktop app's QR code exactly the same way.

Only need to activate a license?

EduIgnite Companion is the lighter option: a technical admin who has no other reason to use EduIgnite Mobile can install just this instead.

Licensing, without a network

QR-based activation and renewal

Because the Offline Desktop app has no direct line to EduIgnite's servers, your school's technical admin bridges the gap using Companion and a QR code.

1

Desktop shows a QR challenge

The Offline Desktop app generates a short-lived, one-time QR code: a temporary cryptographic challenge, never a permanent secret.

2

Companion scans and contacts the server

Your school's technical admin scans the code with EduIgnite Companion. The app forwards the challenge to EduIgnite's licensing server over its own internet connection.

3

Server issues a signed license, relayed back

The server verifies the request, signs a license tied to your School ID and that computer's hardware, and sends it back through Companion to the Desktop, which unlocks full access.

Challenges expire after a few minutes and can only be used once. The same flow covers annual renewals.

Not a new platform

Just a smaller way to do one job

EduIgnite Companion does not replace any part of the platform. It only activates and renews EduIgnite Offline licenses. Everything else your school needs still lives in EduIgnite Mobile, Desktop or Web.

  • Students, teachers and parents should use EduIgnite Mobile, not Companion.
  • Companion is only useful to schools running EduIgnite Offline.
  • Installing both apps is never required. Mobile's built-in Companion tools cover the same activation flow.

Built for schools with no reliable internet

Companion exists because EduIgnite Offline runs on a computer with no internet connection at all. Someone still needs a phone with internet, once a year, to keep the license current. That is the entire job this app does.
