# How do I activate my Storage Studio licence?

Open **Settings → License**, enter the email you used at checkout and the **License Code** from your activation email, then click **Activate**. That's a one-time step on each Mac.

Even quicker: click the **Activate Storage Studio** button in the email and the app activates itself.

1. Open Storage Studio's **Settings** (⌘,) and choose **License**.
2. Enter your purchase email and License Code.
3. Click **Activate**.
