Redeeming a license key adds the subscription to your account and starts the time on your plan. There are three ways to do it. Pick whichever fits your situation.

1. On the Panel

If you already have an account, this is the fastest option.

1. Sign in to the Panel.
2. Look at "Redeem Key" section.
3. Paste your license key and click "Redeem".
4. The subscription is added to your account and the time starts immediately.

2. On the loader

If you're already at your PC and logged in to the loader, you can activate from there.

1. Download the loader from your Panel if you haven't already (see Download your loader).
2. Log in to the loader.
3. Open the Games tab.
4. Click on the game you want to activate
5. Paste your license key.
6. The subscription activates and time starts.

3. During account creation

If this is your first purchase and you don't have an account yet, the signup flow does it for you.

1. Register on the Panel or the loader.
2. When prompted for a license key, paste yours.
3. The account is created with the subscription already attached and the time already running.

When does the clock actually start?

The moment redemption succeeds. Not when you first launch the loader, not when you first inject - the moment the key is redeemed. So don't redeem a weekly key on Sunday if you're not planning to play until Wednesday.

Where to find your key

Your key is sent to the email you entered on checkout. If you can't find it, see How to retrieve a lost or forgotten license key.

If activation fails

• "Key already used" - see "Key already used" error - what to do.
• "Invalid key" - see "Invalid key" error - what to do.
