# tenant create

## qlik tenant create

Create a tenant

### Synopsis

Creates a tenant in the requested region, linked to the provided license key. You must use a regional OAuth client generated via the [My Qlik portal](https://account.myqlik.qlik.com/account) to call this endpoint. Tenant creation, deactivation, and reactivation requests must be sent to the register endpoint in the relevant Qlik Cloud region, e.g. `https://register.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/tenants` if interacting with tenants in the `us` region.
