## Step-2. Sign Up Account / Sign In To Account

## Step-3. Add Your Purchase Code

{% hint style="success" %}
If you have signed in via **Login with Envato**, all the available Purchase codes related to the Consulting will be listed on the My Purchases Codes section. 
{% endhint %}

Just activate your website by selecting one of the displayed Purchase codes and your website link will be included in one of the available slots.

The **Activate** button with the gray background means that this **Purchase code was already used on two websites**, and it is can not be used again. On the Used domains section, you can see which domains the Purchase code was activated.
