Received LAANC authorization but still cannot take off

I tried searching for the answer but I can’t find it. I got the text with confirmation number, but I still cannot take off. Do I need to input that number in the DJI app somewhere? Surprised I got authorization immediately living in a NFZ within 5 miles of PIT.

You still need to go through the DJI process and fill out their geo zone unlock application.

I find their unlocking procedure to be very cumbersome, and sometimes outright undoable since there are frequently no "pins" on blue authorization zones. Very frustrating, good luck.

Is this still relevant? I tried today but no blue pin. I received LAANC auth but no blue pin on the map. Thanks
