# Activate License

When **Motion Studio** is first installed a **License Key** is required to activate and finalize the process. You can **log in** and **out** of your License Key and easily switch to a different workstation.

{% hint style="info" %}
Motion 4 licenses will not work with Motion Studio. See [here](/general/upgrading-from-motion-4.md) for more info.
{% endhint %}

### Get license key

You can get your License Key from your Checkout Email.\
If you forgot your License Key, you can recover it on our [License Recovery page](https://mtmograph.com/pages/license-recovery)

### Multiple Seats

If the License Key is valid, but the Seat Count is reached. Motion Studio will prompt you with a license manager screen where you can log in or out of workstations using your License Key.

### Failed license check

If the License Key check fails, a couple of situations may have happened:

1. The License Key isn't real, or entered incorrectly
2. The workstation has no internet connection to verify the license
