This step is not obligatory: if you don’t use these applications, simply click ‘Install’ to continue without installing the plugin.
{% endhint %}

* Once the installation is complete, click the ***‘Launch’*** button to open Aperty.

#### **Activation**

* If you have available seats, simply log in to your account after launching the app.
* If no seats (devices) are available, you need to reset your previous activation on the device you no longer want to use. There are two ways to reset a device: through your Skylum account on the website or directly in the app after installation.

**Directly in the App**
