reactivating
Bringing back online
Reactivating is bringing something back into active use or operation after a period of dormancy.
A company reactivates a dormant account, a military reactivates a reserve unit, a scientist reactivates a virus for study.
The word implies the thing was once active, became inactive, and is now being restored: They're reactivating the old factory.
