Activating a License Using a Product Key or PAK

Before activating a license using a product key or a product authorization key (PAK), ensure the following.

You can activate a license with a product key or PAK. You may find a product key printed on a physical copy of your product. A product key contains 25 characters and always starts with the letter P.

On the other hand, you may obtain a product authorization key (PAK) if you purchase a license from the old QNAP License Store. A PAK contains 24 digits of random numbers.
