# How to activate the theme

If you installed the theme with the Envato Market Plugin, please skip this step.

Activate the theme and Import the demo content

After completing the installation of the theme, you need to activate your product under **Dashboard > HomePress > Product registration** following these instructions:

1. Follow this [**Generate A Personal Token**](https://build.envato.com/create-token/?purchase:download=t\&purchase:verify=t\&purchase:list=t) link. **IMPORTANT**: You must be logged into the same Themeforest account that you used to purchase your current theme.\
   If you are logged in already, look in the top menu bar to ensure it is the right account. If you are not logged in, you will be directed to **login** then directed back to the **Create A Token** Page.
2. Enter a name for your token, then check the boxes for **View Your Envato Account Username, Download Your Purchased Items, Verify Purchases You've Made** and **List Purchases You've Made** from the *permissions needed* section. Check the box to agree to the terms and conditions, then click the **Create Token button**.
