BAR-OIS: No more waiting! Get with it...
As of Oct 10th, according to the BAR, "Stations no longer need to wait for a getting started email from their vendor. After sending the DAD Disclosure Agreement to your DAD vendor, use your BAR-OIS computer to access the BAR-OIS Registration and Download link now located on BAR's website."
After checking with the BAR the activation can still take 4-7 days.
