How to activate a license

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 AdGuard account, you need to have a valid license with at least one open slot there. If your license is already used on a maximum number of devices, you can upgrade it or transfer it from one device to another.

Alternatively, you can use a license key to activate the license.
