# Activate Your Computer

If the Administration Console is not active on your computer then follow these steps to activate it. You can check if you have the Administration Console available by looking for the blue Z icon in your Windows system tray:

If you don't see the blue Z icon then you know that <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> is not activated. If you have just [created a new subscription](/administration-guide/create-your-subscription.md) then you can skip this section as the <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> Administration Console will already be available on your computer.

You will need your <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> administrator username and activation code to activate <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code>.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you don't know your activation code, ask another <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> subscription administrator to reset your activation code. If you are the only administrator on the subscription, or all the other administrators don't have their activation codes, you will need to [contact support](/resources/contact-support.md) to have an activation code reminder sent
{% endhint %}

Let's get started and activate your computer:

The welcome page of the wizard will show. Click the Next button to continue
