    |popy| comes with a free limited time trial period, after which you must obtain a |prod_key| to continue using the software. Once you have a |prod_key|, activate |popy| by opening a :ref:`open_a_popy_command_prompt` and typing:-

    .. code-block:: console

        $ popy_activate [product key]
        
    where **[product key]** is the key you were given.

    You can check if this worked by typing:-

    .. code-block:: console

        $ popy_info
        
    You should see the new |prod_key| in the output.
