## Activating Quasar Soft and Quasar Cast

> [!NOTE]
> A single license activates **BOTH** Quasar Soft and Quasar Cast

> [!WARNING]
> License and activation codes used here have portions blurred for security purposes.

1. Using a connected Web Browser, click the **License Management** link on the left side menu. The Quasar Soft License header will appear and say **License Status: NO LICENSE CODE.**

3. The **License Status** will show **CODE NEEDS ACTIVATION.**

Feature licenses like Quasar Soft and Quasar Cast require a one-time activation against a license server. Codes may only be activated once and are only valid for a single console.
4. Click the **Automatic Activation** button.

If your computer has access to the internet, your license should activate automatically, and the **License Management** page will show **License Status: CODE ACTIVATED.**

1. Access Quasar Soft or Quasar Cast by using the link on the left side menu. Choose your configuration preferences and click the **Start** button.

## Manual Activation

If you have problems activating automatically;

1. Copy the ENTIRE Activation request code. The Activation Request code begins with the KEY8 and ends with an **!** (exclamation mark). You must take this entire code to a computer that has access to [https://secure.telos-systems.com/](https://secure.telos-systems.com/)
2. Paste the Activation code in the box at the activation Web Site. There should be approximately three lines of text as shown here, beginning with KEY8 and ending with !. Do not paste your License Code in here.

3. Click the **Submit** button

The Web Page will respond with your Activation code. Again, note that a complete activation code (like the request code) begins with KEY8 and ends with !.
4. Copy this entire code and return to your Quasar Soft Activation page.
