In Clio, only the primary subscriber and users with administrator permissions can change account settings. This includes adding new users, managing account licenses, and managing account settings.
Tip: Learn more about deactivating and reactivating users, removing unused licenses, and canceling your account in this article.
Activate new account
Activating your account and getting started with Clio only takes a few steps. You will receive an email with a link to view the quote and submit your payment information. If you purchased both Clio Grow and Clio Manage, the quote will show the amount due for both products. Once payment has been completed, you will receive separate emails from Clio Manage and Clio Grow to create your accounts.
Note: If you are the primary subscriber and you did not receive an activation email, contact Clio's support team for assistance.
- Open the quote acceptance email and click Confirm and pay.
- This email will contain a link to the quote for both Clio Manage and Clio Grow if you purchased both products.
- On the quote acceptance page, review your quote details, enter your payment information, and accept Clio's Terms of Service.
- Click Make payment when you are finished.
- Open the account activation email and click Create account to get started with Clio.
Important: When activating a new Clio account, Clio links your email address to you as a single person. This means that you cannot sign up for more than one firm account with the same email address. If you need more than one firm account, you will need to use different email addresses. If you have both Clio Manage and Clio Grow, you will need to use same usernames for both products. As per Clio's Terms of Service, user profiles must have a unique email login and actual name for security and audit log purposes and to identify you in case of account recovery.
