Setting Up Your G5 Advanced License

A step-by-step guide to activating, preparing, and making the most of your John Deere G5 Advanced license with Koenig Equipment support.

Before You Begin: Key Steps to Prepare

Getting the most from the G5 Advanced license starts with proper setup and data management. Follow these steps for a smooth experience:

  • Create or Access a John Deere Operations Center Account:
    Visit OperationsCenter.Deere.com to set up your account. This account is essential for managing equipment, fields, and connected tools.

  • Clean Up Operations Center Data:
    Review and update legal entities, equipment, land, team members, and products in Operations Center to ensure all information is accurate. Utilize the Data Cleanup Video Series for additional guidance.

  • Update Display and Apps:
    Confirm that your G5 display, Operations Center Mobile, and Equipment Mobile apps are all updated to the latest versions. Staying current ensures access to the latest features and optimal compatibility.

  • Create Driven Boundaries:
    For best accuracy in the field, define driven boundaries. Accurate field boundaries improve guidance performance and data capture throughout the season.

  • Plan Seasonal Work with Work Planner:
    Utilize the Work Planner feature within Operations Center to outline the work needed each season—helping minimize in-cab setup time.

  • Check License Activation:
    Ensure the G5 Advanced license is activated on your compatible display. If it was not activated at purchase, Koenig Equipment can assist with activation.
