# Activate your licence

This page explains how to activate and refresh your BurpGPT Pro licence.

BurpGPT Pro features are available after your licence is active. If the licence dialog does not open automatically after loading the extension, open it from `BurpGPT Pro -> Licence`.

## Activate a licence

1. Open `BurpGPT Pro -> Licence`.
2. Paste your licence key into the `Licence key` field.
3. Click `Activate`.
4. Confirm that `Status` changes to `Activated`.

After activation, the `BurpGPT Pro` tab, context-menu scan action, and `AI Chat` editor are available in Burp Suite.

## Refresh licence status

Use `Refresh` when you need to update the displayed licence status, validity dates, activation count, or licensed email.

The licence dialog shows:

* `Status`: Current licence state.
* `Licensed to`: Email address associated with the licence.
* `Order ID`: Order identifier for the licence.
* `Activations`: Used and allowed activations.
* `Expires`: Licence expiry date.

If activation fails, see [What are the possible causes for an unsuccessful activation of my BurpGPT Pro?](/help-and-faq/faq/what-are-the-possible-causes-for-an-unsuccessful-activation-of-my-burpgpt-pro.md).
