# Step 9: Activate Quantify with a New Activation Code

When you launch Quantify, the activation code is analyzed to determine if it matches the Quantify license and is a valid code. If a match is found, Quantify launches as usual.

You will receive a new activation code when:

- You start a Quantify trial
- Convert from a trial to purchased license
- Renew annual software assurance (If your software assurance has expired, you will not be able to update your software until your activation code has been updated.)
- When you [request an activation code](/v1/docs/step-8-request-an-activation-code) or renew your software assurance, you will receive a text document that contains the updated activation code.

To activate Quantify with a new activation code:

1. Open the text document and select all of the encrypted text. Click anywhere in the body of the email and press CTRL+A.
2. Copy the highlighted text to your computer. Press CTRL+C or right-click and select **Copy** from the menu that appears.) ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/197bb09f-d392-46bf-a86d-c331a5c4e227.png)
