### Step 2: Get your license

   You will automatically receive a free license when you register.
2. The license key, expiration date, registered email and license type will be displayed.
3. If you wish to obtain a paid version of the licence, click on the **contact us** link at the bottom of the page. This will take you to a page with a request form.

The **license key** is needed [**to activate the AppSec Portal**](/appsec-portal/deployment/get-started-with-the-appsec-portal.md). You can always go back to the store to copy it.
