**What this page is for.** Your shop is installed, you can sign in, and every
admin page bounces you back to an activation form. That is almost always
activation, not a broken install — and the panel completes it for you.

## Why this happens

6ammart checks its CodeCanyon licence with its author before it will show any
admin page. Until that check passes, signing in works and then every admin page
refuses. Nothing is wrong with your server, your database or your code.

Some builds do not carry that check at all. On those the panel says activation is
**not applicable**, and there is nothing for you to do — that answer is correct,
not a failure.

## What you need

- Your **CodeCanyon username**.
- Your **purchase code** for 6ammart. In Envato: **Downloads → this item →
  Licence certificate & purchase code**. It is 36 characters, in the shape
  `19xxxxxx-ca5c-49c2-83f6-696a738b0000`. It is not your password and not the
  licence certificate file.

## Activate it

1. Open the project, then **Deploys**.
2. The activation card tells you where you stand before you type anything:
   whether this codebase checks activation at all, whether it is already
   activated, and whether the panel is already holding a code for it.
3. Fill in your username and purchase code, and press **Activate**.

Only the owner of this server can do this. A shared or developer login cannot.

**The panel never shows the code back to you**, not even to you. It keeps a copy
so a later deploy, an update or a rollback does not send you back to Envato, and
the **Use the code saved on this server** button re-runs the activation from it.
You can tell the panel to forget its copy at any time; that removes the panel's
stored code and does not deactivate your shop.

## The customer website is a separate licence

The React storefront is its own CodeCanyon item with its own purchase code. Until
it is activated, the admin panel answers the storefront's landing-page request
with "Please check activation for react web", so the site loads and shows nothing.
The panel raises that as its own card on the **Deploys** page once the website is
deployed, and it takes the same two fields.

## How to check it worked

Open the shop's admin panel. The pages that bounced you should answer normally.
**Server → Health** carries a **CodeCanyon activation** row too, so you can
confirm it without leaving the panel — and that row also warns you if your admin
panel is only opening because the licence check has been switched off in the app's
settings file, which is a shop that locks itself the next time its config cache is
rebuilt.

## If your address changes

Activation is registered to the address you activated. Move the shop to a new
domain and 6ammart locks the admin panel the next time it re-checks, about a day
later. The panel spots this and says so on the **Deploys** page: activated, but
for a different address than the one it is served from now. Activate again for the
new address — nothing on the shop is changed by trying.

## If it went wrong

**"not applicable"** — this build has no activation check that can fail. Nothing
to do. If the admin panel is still wrong, the cause is elsewhere: **[When
something is broken](https://www.allsweb.com/sixpanel/docs/troubleshooting)**.

**The code is refused** — check you copied the purchase code and not the item id,
and that it is the code for 6ammart rather than another item you own. That answer
comes back from the author's own licence server, so it is about the code, not
about your server.

**"could not reach its licence server"** — 6ammart has let the install in for now
and will try again within a day. If the code or the address is wrong, the admin
panel locks itself again when it does.
