# Activate Your Computer

If the Partner Console is not active on your computer then follow these steps to activate it. You can check if you have the Partner 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. You will need your <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> partner username and activation code to activate <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code>. If a Partner Subscription has just been set up for you (see [Request A Partner Subscription](/partner-guide/request-a-partner-subscription.md)), then you can find your username and activation code in the *getting started* email that would have been sent to you.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you don't know your activation code, ask your <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> partner subscription administrator to reset your activation code. If you are the only partner administrator on the subscription, or all the other partner 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:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
[Download the latest version](/resources/download.md) of the <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> executable to your computer and then double click the `zeedrive.exe` executable you downloaded to launch the wizard. The welcome page of the wizard will show. Click the Next button to continue

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Enter your <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> partner username and activation code then click the Verify button. After successfully verifying your details, a green tick mark will show. As you can see from the screenshot, <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> has identified this is a partner subscription. Click the Next button to continue

{% endstep %}

<figure><img src="/files/GZFub5flTPoHanLAlKZa" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

You may notice a pop-up notification from your system tray area as <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> starts up

<figure><img src="/files/Tj4gYLteHvMiSsed9asF" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
You can now open the Partner Console by clicking the blue Z icon from your Windows system tray

<figure><img src="/files/lrZWSOnFYSjlOE0Z3gAJ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
The Partner Console will pop-open and show the status screen. You're now ready to get started managing your customers; click the "Manage your customer subscriptions" option from the action button
