Note: If you are setting up an org to ONLY use shared zones from another org (this means there will not be any entries or entry licenses), before you click Save, toggle the “Auto Assign Basic” box. This will automatically assign a 500-user basic license to the org.

Once created, you can purchase license packs. See How do I purchase Avigilon Alta software license packs?
