# Validating A Successful Activation

After completing the [activation of the desktop server](/administration-guide/deploying-to-desktop-servers/activate-a-desktop-server.md), you can optionally validate the activation was configured correctly.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
First validate that <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> is registered with the Task Scheduler on the server you activated. Hit the Windows key on your keyboard, enter "task scheduler" then click the Task Scheduler app

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
The Windows Task Scheduler app will pop-open. Click the folder "Task Scheduler Library" from the left hand pane. Locate the item starting "Zee Drive - ########" where ######## identifies the 8 digit ID of the subscription that you activated. In the example below, the <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> subscription ID that was activated is 12345678. The task should be set to "log on of any user" in the Triggers column

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Now check the <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> [Administration Console](/administration-guide/overview-of-the-administration-console.md). Click the action button then click the option "Manage hot desk computers and desktop servers"

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
The server you activated should now be listed, with the name you configured during the activation process

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
If the server is not showing in the list, it could be you are viewing stale data. Click the action button then click the option "Refresh this list of computers". <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> will refresh the list of servers

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Let's confirm the licence pool size. Select the server from the list of computers, click the action button then click the option "Adjust the size of the licence pool for this desktop server"

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
A busy indicator will show briefly whilst the current server details are retrieved. The licence pool count will then be shown. Verify that the licence pool size is adequate. Click the Cancel button then the Go Back button to return to the status screen. You have now successfully verified the server activation
