Activating a license key

Activating your key

Go to Settings ▸ License. In the License key field, type or paste your key in the format XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX, then click Activate. When it succeeds you’ll see License activated, and your tier changes to Unlimited.

If you ever need to re-check things, use Refresh status to ask the license server for the latest.

What each status means

Your license status tells you exactly where you stand:

  • Active — your license is valid and working.
  • Active (offline) — Brolla couldn’t reach the license server, so it’s running on a grace period. Everything keeps working offline for a while; it’ll re-check automatically once you’re back online.
  • Expired — your license period has ended. Renew it to return to Active.
  • Revoked — this key has been turned off. Contact support if you think that’s a mistake.
  • Not activated — no key is active yet; you’re on the free tier.

Fixing common errors

If activation doesn’t go through, the message usually tells you why:

  • Key not found — double-check for typos, and confirm you copied the whole key.
  • Key revoked — this key is no longer valid; reach out to support.
  • Key expired — the license has ended; renewing will restore it.
  • All machine slots for this key are in use — deactivate another machine first to free a slot.
  • Couldn’t reach the license server — check your internet connection and try again in a moment.

Most activation hiccups are a simple typo or a temporary connection issue, so a careful re-type or a second attempt usually does the trick.
