# Install a License

Once you have a [License Key](https://docs.robpod.cloud/get-started/license/buy-a-license) you can proceed to install the license on your Robpod Studio installation.

1. Go to **File -> Settings -> Robpod -> License** or directly on the license popup that appears at startup, and choose **Install New License**.

#### Floating Licenses

All Robpod Studio licenses are **floating**, this means that you can install the same license on **multiple** PC, but you can use just one PC at time. If you need to use the same license on another device remember first to **Deactivate** the license on the current device. Once the license is deactivated, you will be able to activate it on an other machine.

#### OnLine Validation

OnLine validation is a process needed to check the validity of your Robpod Studio license. Validation is performed automatically when an Internet connection is available.&#x20;

If too much time has passed since last license validation, an Internet connection will be asked to perform the validation. You can check the remaining days before next validation is required on [license settings](https://docs.robpod.cloud/get-started/license/broken-reference) panel.
