# Do Inner Circle members need to enter a licence key?

Not during the free period. Activating from the button in your approval email handles everything, so there's no key to copy, enter or keep track of.

If you ever need to activate by hand — for example on a Mac other than the one reading your email — contact support@storagestudio.us.
