# Binding Your License Key

After joining the Discord server, you need to link your license key to your Discord account. To do this, open a direct message with Valor Auth#4362 and send this command exactly as shown below:

```
!bind YOUR-LICENSE-KEY-HERE
```

Be sure to replace `YOUR-LICENSE-KEY-HERE` with your own key from the purchase email. This step is required to unlock access to the rest of the Discord server.

If you get an error when trying to message Valor Auth#4362, make sure **Direct Messages** are enabled for the Valor server in your Discord privacy settings.

A successful key bind will look like the image below.
