# How do I redeem an onboarding code?

You can redeem it in the app or on our website. In the app, the licence screen opens with a green card — **Have an onboarding code or a partner code?** — so choose **Enter my code** and type your name, email and code (or use **Settings → License → Activate**). An onboarding code starts your licence straight away.

On the website, go to [storagestudio.us/redeem](https://storagestudio.us/redeem), enter your code, name and email, then paste the 12-character code we email you to confirm your address. The green card's **Register with seller's invoice** button opens that page for you, for a code bought from a reseller.

Your licence arrives by email, and the page shows what to do next — install Storage Studio and activate it. Either way there's nothing to pay.
