All Chaos products are activated the same way. After downloading and installing the software of your choice, start your application and follow the activation procedure explained in this article.

You will be redirected to the Chaos License Server where you need to sign in. This is done either automatically after just starting the software, or you need to use the dedicated "Activate license" button in the software itself. After you sign into the Chaos License Server, your product is activated and you can start using it. 

If you have not been redirected to the Chaos License Server after the installation, or if you are having trouble locating the "Activate license" button, you can access the Chaos License Server anytime by starting your web browser and entering this URL: http://localhost:30304/

Once the page loads, click “Sign in” and enter your registered email address and password:  

Once you are successfully signed in, your product will just start working.

Note: the same login and password combination is used to sign into My Chaos portal and to activate Chaos products.
