# Activate Major Incident Management

You can activate the Incident Management - Major Incident Management plugin \(com.snc.incident.mim\) if you have the admin role. This plugin includes demo data and activates related plugins if they are not already active.

## Before you begin

Confirm that the application and all of its associated ServiceNow Store applications have valid ServiceNow® entitlements.

## About this task

Starting with the Brazil release, a scheduled job is available. The scheduled job executes a batch installation on a newly provisioned instance to automatically install applications such as Major Incident Management applications if the customer has the necessary ServiceNow® entitlements. This job applies only to newly provisioned zBoot instances. If the application isn't installed automatically, you can use this procedure to install and activate the application manually.

You must manually activate the Incident Management - Major Incident Management plugin \(com.snc.incident.mim\) for new and existing customers.

Incident Management - Major Incident Management plugin activates these related plugins if they are not already active:

-   Incident Communications Management \(com.snc.iam\)
-   Incident Updates \(com.snc.incident.updates\)
-   Task-Outage Relationship \(com.snc.task\_outage\)
