  • Then click Change or Reset Password and then check your email inbox for an email to set your password. Then you’ll go back to LicensE and put in your email (with the .dsps at the end) and the password you just set up.
  • Once logged in, you will go to the bottom and select the Renew My License.
  • You will then be able to see if this email is connected to the DCC (business license) or the DCQ (continuing education license).
  • To view your other credential account, you will have toselect Request Support at the top of the page and request a login for the other credential. You can either provide them a new email address to use, or, you can request they use the same email address and to put a 1 at the end.
