# License Validation

- **Single License Users:**
  1. First, lock the license to your machine using the `LockLicence` component:
     - Drag the `LockLicence` component into the Grasshopper canvas.
     - Input your email and license key.
     - This locks the license to your machine, preventing it from being used elsewhere.
  2. After locking the license, validate it using the `GetLicence` component:
     - Drag the `GetLicence` component onto the canvas.
     - Input your email and license key, and the plug-in will automatically validate the license.

       ---
- **Multiple License Types:**
  1. Use the `GetLicence` component to validate your license every time you open the plug-in.
  2. Input your email and license key, and the license will be validated automatically.

- **Important Note:**
   You must validate the license **every time** you use the plug-in, regardless of whether it is a single or multi-license.
