# Addon licence activation

## Prerequisites

Since Motion is an addon, you will need the following:

* The main SimHub license. If you don't already own it, [it can be purchased here](https://www.simhubdash.com/get-a-license/).
* The Motion Addon license, which can be purchased [here if you don't own it yet](https://www.simhubdash.com/simhub-motion-addon-licence/).

If you don't own already any of those, you can buy a 2-in-1 licence (Motion pack) here : <https://www.simhubdash.com/simhub-motion-addon-licence/>

Each license will be delivered as a ".lic" file attachment to your purchase email. If you don't receive it within 24 hours, please check your spam folder. If you still haven’t received it, please contact us at <https://www.simhubdash.com/simhub-contact/>, and we’ll resolve the issue promptly.

Once received, save the files to your device (depending on your email client, you may need to right-click the attachment and select "Save As").

## Activation

Open SimHub and go to the Motion Addon "Global Settings" section. Here, you will see the current status of your two licenses.
