What's Wrong?

Environment:

• Desktop app version: [Claude 1.5354.0 (9a9e3d) 2026-04-29T01:14:34.000Z]
• Operating system: Macbook Pro M5 PRo [Macos 26.4.1 (25E253)]
• Location: Durban, South Africa

Issue:
I received an email confirming my seat was upgraded to include Claude Code access, but the Code tab is not appearing in my desktop app. Only Chat and Cowork tabs are visible.

Steps taken:

1. Updated to the latest desktop app from https://claude.com/download
2. Completely quit and restarted the app multiple times
3. Signed out and back in from the app menu
4. Deleted and reinstalled the app
5. Waited [20 hours/days] since receiving the upgrade email

Additional context:

• I'm the only user in my organization who received this upgrade
• I need Claude Code access for work urgently
• The upgrade email confirmed I should have access to Claude Code

What Should Happen?

After receiving the seat upgrade email and signing into the Claude desktop app, the Code tab should appear at the top center of the app alongside the Chat and Cowork tabs.
When clicking the Code tab for the first time, it should either:
Open directly to start a new session, or
Prompt to complete sign-in online (if needed), after which restarting the app should grant access
The Code tab should be immediately accessible without waiting for a gradual rollout period, since the seat upgrade confirms access rights have been granted

Error Messages/Logs

No error messages are displayed. The Code tab simply does not appear in the desktop app interface. Only the Chat and Cowork tabs are visible at the top of the app.
