# How to activate your Paid Lite account.

## Your license needs activating before you can make payments.

Paid will activate your license once we receive your license fees. Until this point the platform will operate and allow you to set up users, create payees and explore the functionality of the platform. We will restrict payments out of the platform just to Paid Technology Ltd.
