## Activation

You will be provided with the license key for the product activation after purchasing the selected edition of Syskit Point.

Anytime, you can log in to Syskit [Customers Portal](https://my.syskit.com/) and navigate to the list of your licensed products. If you are not seeing the activation information, please [contact us](https://www.syskit.com/company/contact-us).

When opening the Syskit Point web app URL for the first time, you will be prompted to **activate your copy of Syskit Point (1) or start the trial (2)**.
