# How to activate your AdBlock license

Once you've purchased AdBlock, you'll receive a **license key** by email. Entering that key in the app unlocks your paid subscription and keeps your ads blocked. Here's how to do it. It only takes a moment.

> **Before you start:** you'll need the license key from your activation email. If you can't find the email, check your spam or junk folder.

## Activate your license

1. Open your **activation email** and copy your **license key**.
2. Open the **AdBlock** app and click **Subscription** in the left-hand menu.
3. On the Subscription page, click the **Add License** button.
4. In the **Add License** window that opens, paste your license key into the **License Key** field, then click **Activate**.
5. That's it! You'll see a **"Your license has been activated"** confirmation appear in the bottom-right corner, and your license status will change to **Valid**, along with your subscription's expiry date.

> **Don't have a license key yet?** If you haven't purchased a subscription, click **Upgrade** instead of Add License to buy one. Your license key will be emailed to you afterwards, and you can then follow the steps above to activate it.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.adblocklabs.com/docs/guides/how-to-activate-adblock-license.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
