daattivare

Da attivare is an Italian phrase used as a label or status to indicate that a thing—such as a feature, service, device, or account—has not yet been activated and requires an activation step before use. The construction combines da (to, for) with attivare (to activate), yielding a descriptive sense of impending activation.

In software, digital services, and IT administration, da attivare commonly appears on interfaces, dashboards, or release notes to mark items that are currently inactive. Activation typically involves providing a license key, completing a configuration, or performing a verification step. Until activation occurs, the item may be unavailable, limited in functionality, or hidden from standard workflows.

Beyond software, the label can also apply to physical products or service subscriptions that must be activated by the customer or provider. For example, a device may arrive with da attivare as part of its setup process, signaling that the user must complete an activation procedure to unlock full use. In procurement or project management, it may denote items or features awaiting activation or commissioning.

Linguistically, da attivare is used as a participial phrase functioning as a qualifier, often appearing in user interfaces, manuals, or administrative documents. It is related to terms like attivato (activated) or attivazione (activation), which describe completed states or the act of activation.
