```{note}
If you have an {term}`Activation Key ` it can be passed to the installation script and activation will be completed on your behalf as part of the install.
Create a file for the {term}`Activation Key ` e.g. `activation_key.txt` and paste in the {term}`Activation Key ` you received in you confirmation email.
When running the install.sh use the parameter `-a or --activation-key-file` so your command might look something like this `sudo bash kasm_release/install.sh -a activation_key.txt`.
This will not work with an offline air-gapped install, as Kasm Workspaces must contact an activation server to complete licensing your installation.
In a multi server install this option only applies to the database role.
