# Account Settings

EMILY.RPA's account authorization, version updates, and other settings are all found on the "**Account Settings**" page. Available updates (if any), version number, account name, and license expiration date can be found directly on the page.

### Version

Clicking the version item opens the version details page. If an update is available, the page will show two options: "**Update Now**" and "**Manual Download**". If the automatic update fails, you can use manual download instead — this may happen because antivirus software or endpoint protection software blocks the download of executable installation files. When downloading manually, make sure your firewall allows connections to the domain cdn.emily-rpa.com.

The user interface language can be changed by clicking "**Select Language**" to open the language menu. Currently, English, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese are supported.

### Account

Clicking the account item opens the account details page, which includes "**Expiration Date**", "**Licensed Computers**", "**Group**", and "**License History**". Licensed Computers and Group require an enterprise plan to configure. The default number of licensed computers is one, meaning EMILY.RPA can only be open on one computer at a time. The Group feature provides skill sharing and permission management across multiple accounts in an enterprise — contact your sales representative for details.

"**Purchase License**" allows a one-time online credit card purchase of an account license. You can choose the license duration, and you will only be notified upon expiration — there is no automatic charge. If you need an invoice for reimbursement, you can select a tax ID number under "**Select Carrier**", or choose a carrier for lottery purposes.

If you are an enterprise plan customer, your sales representative will provide a license file for your authorization purchase. The license file name typically looks like `8e3fa754-e8e0-4836-b452-d9be3978b7d6-39f9ff5e8031.json`. After clicking "**Install License**", a file manager will appear to select the license file. Once selected, the license details will be displayed — click "**Install License**" again to begin the installation.

For technical issues such as workflow design, deployment, or debugging, you can click the "**Technical Support**" button to open the paid technical support request page. If you haven't added credit yet, you can also use that page to have a customer representative contact you.

If the computer with EMILY.RPA installed no longer needs the current account, you can "**Log Out**" at the bottom. Please note that after logging out, if you register and log in again on this machine in the future, installed skills must be re-downloaded from the Skill Hub.

### Trigger Options

When the "**Enter Fully Automated Mode on Startup**" toggle is turned on, EMILY.RPA will enter fully automated mode directly the next time it launches. Combined with the operating system's "**Auto Login on Boot**" and "**Launch Application on Startup**" settings, this achieves the goal of having EMILY.RPA run fully automated as soon as the computer boots up.

### Default Variables

"**Default Variables**" allows you to save commonly used input information as variables, which can be used for accounts, passwords, or keys across various automated systems. The enterprise plan additionally provides group-shared variables that can be used by accounts within the group without exposing plaintext values.

### Protect Text

In the "**Protect Text**" dialog, you can enter sensitive text data such as passwords. EMILY.RPA encrypts it using an OS-protected key and saves it as ciphertext. This ciphertext file is only decrypted in real time when used within a skill — plaintext is never stored.

### Google API Key

Several automation modules use Google services such as Google Drive and Google Sheets. These require a credential file obtained from Google Cloud Platform, and you must grant access permissions to the Google service account email address on the credential. Use "**Specify GCP Credential File**" below to set the JSON file you obtained, then click "**Credential Email**" to retrieve the email address from the credential. You can then grant read/write permissions to that email in Google Drive or Google Sheets so the relevant automation modules have the necessary access.
