title: How to activate
sidebar_position: 3

To activate your license, go to the *License* section of your AdGuard product and find the *Log in* field or *Activate* button. Use the email and password of your AdGuard account to log in. If you don't have an account yet, you will be offered to create one.

:::note

To activate a license via the AdGuard account, a valid license with at least one free slot is required. If your license is already used on a maximum number of devices, you can [upgrade it](../payment-options#upgrade) or [transfer it from one device to another](../transfer).

:::

Alternatively, you can use a [license key](../what-is#license-key) to activate the license.

**Below you can check step-by-step activation instructions for each platform.**
