# Activating a Parallels RAS Farm

To activate a Parallels RAS farm, you need your Parallels account email/password and your SPLA license key. Please note that the license key must be registered in the account.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Important**: You must use the same account for all Parallels RAS activations so all of your farms, keys, and subscriptions are visible and manageable under the same account.
{% endhint %}

To activate a Parallels RAS farm using your SPLA license key:

1. Launch Parallels RAS Console and, if necessary, enter your Parallels RAS administrator credentials.
2. Enter your Parallels account email and password.
3. Enter your license key and click **Activate**.

Your Parallels RAS farm is activated. To activate other Parallels RAS farms using the same license key, repeat the steps above for each farm.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-spla-guide/v20/using-your-parallels-spla-subscriptions/activating-a-parallels-ras-farm.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
