To upload and process imagery using the Propeller PPK workflow, you must register your drone with Propeller. This article will walk you through the steps needed to register a new drone or replace a repaired drone.
The PPK subscription for a drone begins the day you register it. The subscription is included for one year after purchase.
Registering a PPK-enabled drone with Propeller
Activate your drone's DJI Care Enterprise Basic if you haven't done so already.
You can register your PPK drone during the drone’s first survey upload.
1. Begin a survey upload and select Use Propeller PPK.
2. Import your survey data into the uploader.
3. Click the link in the File validation error to view the drone registration form.
4. Enter your drone’s serial number. There should be no spaces in the serial number. DJI serial numbers never contain the letters "O" or "I." These will always be the numbers "0" and "1."
5. Add a nickname for the drone (optional).
6. Select "No" for "Do you want to replace an existing drone?" and submit the form. You will see a confirmation message when the drone is successfully registered.
7. Once the registration is successful, you may restart and complete your survey upload.

After you receive a repaired or replacement drone
Accidents happen, and sometimes your drone gets damaged. If there is any physical damage to your DJI drone, contact Hardware Support, who will help you initiate the repair process with DJI.
When you have an operational drone, whether replaced or repaired, you must register the new drone and unregister the old one when prompted during the upload process.
1. Enter your replacement drone’s serial number. There should be no spaces in the serial number. DJI serial numbers never contain the letters "O" or "I." These will always be the numbers "0" and "1."
2. Enter a nickname for your drone (optional).
3. Select Yes for Do you want to replace an existing drone? and submit the form. You will see a confirmation message when the drone is successfully registered.
4. Click YES, I'M SURE to confirm that you want to replace the drone when prompted.
Note: Replacing a drone is an irreversible process.
5. Select the serial number of the drone being replaced from the drop-down menu and click SUBMIT. You will get a confirmation message when the replacement is successful.
