# How to License a Niagara Module

## Overview

Most Bitpool software for the Niagara platform will require a suitable license to operate correctly. By default, software modules can be downloaded and installed without restriction - however there is a time limit preventing long term use.

### How to License

Use the following process to license a Niagara driver, widget or service.

1. Once the module is installed, located the license fields (either at the driver or network levels) then copy the `Product Key` (e.g. *WIN-E123-xxx-xxx-xxx:MQTT*).
2. Using your favourite email client, or by clicking the link (<support@bitpool.com>), paste in the `Product Key` along with your details (can use the template below), then `send`.
3. Please wait for an email response containing a unique `License Key` for your module and installation.
4. Finally, copy your provided `License Key` into the appropriate field of your module.
5. This will activate this product - **Congratulations**!

#### Request License Template
