## Activating with License Key

If you've been provisioned a license, you should have received a license key via email. If you have not received a key and already checked your spam folder, please reach out to your license administrator.

Both icons are located at the bottom left corner of the Bruno window. The Key icon will take you directly to the `License` section. If you choose to use the Settings icon, simply select `License` from the settings menu.

### Step 2: Enter License Details

Enter your license key and associated email address
