{% hint style="success" %}
Note: If you are installing a version of IGC that includes pilot authentication for the first time (if coming from 1.1 or earlier), you may need to setup your organization in the Inspired Suite. [Please have your fleet manager register your organization on Elevate](/inspired-documentation/products/inspired-suite/elevate/getting-started.md). From there they can issues pilot logins to team members, see the health of their aircraft, and more. Fleet Managers and Pilots alike can use their Inspired Suite Login on Elevate, the PilotGO app, and IGC. [Learn more about the Inspired Suite](https://www.inspiredflight.com/inspired-suite.php).
