# How do I activate my licence key?

> Open Settings, choose License & Subscription, press Enter License Key and paste the key from your purchase email. It unlocks straight away — there is no account to create and nothing to sign in to.

## Before you start

- The licence key from your FigmaCharts Pro purchase email.

> **Note:** Your licence is registered against your Figma account, not your computer. Sign in to Figma on another machine and the same key activates there without using up a second activation.

> **Tip:** Entering a key you have already activated is safe. The plugin looks for an existing activation first and simply restores it, so retrying after a dropped connection never costs you a slot.

> **Note:** Activation needs a connection — the key is checked with the store. Once it is done the plugin keeps working offline; it just re-checks quietly when you next have signal.

> **Note:** Deactivate License in Settings → License & Subscription hands the activation back and returns you to the free plan on this account. It asks you to confirm first, and you can re-enter the same key whenever you like.

## Steps

1. Press the Settings button in the footer and choose License & Subscription. If an upgrade dialog is already open, I have a license key takes you to the same place.
2. Press Enter License Key to open the Activate License dialog.
3. Paste your key into the License Key field. It is five blocks of letters and numbers separated by dashes — copy the whole thing, including the last block.
4. Press Activate, or just hit Enter. The button reads Activating... while the plugin checks the key with the store.
5. Wait for License activated successfully! — the dialog closes itself a moment later. The footer swaps Free Plan for a PRO badge, every locked tile in the gallery opens, and the paid tabs in the editor come alive.
6. Check it stuck by reopening Settings → License & Subscription. It now lists Status, the email you bought with, the renewal date and the first and last characters of your key.
