# Activate license

## **Summary**

When **Boombox** 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.

## **Open Application**

**Boombox** supports **Adobe After Effects** and **Adobe Premiere**. See [**System Requirements**](/master.md#system-requirements) for more information about the Creative Cloud versions supported.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**We recommend using Boombox in Adobe Premiere using a rendered video for the best experience. Adobe Premiere is best suited to handle audio and video playback.**
{% endhint %}

## **Launch Boombox**

To open Boombox, go to your **Application Bar > Window > Extensions > Boombox**

{% hint style="info" %}
Boombox is resizable, scalable and dockable. **Drag and drop** the Boombox window anywhere in your application Workspace.
{% endhint %}

## Enter license key

When Boombox is opened for the first time, a **License Key** is required to **log in** and finalize your installation. 

### 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**](https://mtmograph.com/pages/license-recovery) page

## Confirm license

After a valid License Key is pasted into Boombox, the Extension will verify the number of installs/seats available and log in. 

{% hint style="info" %}
After the first valid **Login** Boombox can work in **Offline Mode** for 7 days. After that, an internet connection is needed to re-validate the license. 
{% endhint %}

### Multiple Seats

If the License Key is valid, but the Seat Count is reached. Boombox 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
