  1. Buy an EchoLink license
  2. Hold a General Class license
  3. Register your call sign and prove licensing ✔

Why: EchoLink checks that users are licensed amateur operators. Registration connects the user's identity to a valid amateur call sign.

Huh, didn't know that: A Technician license is enough for EchoLink. You do not need a General Class license.
