You can activate a license with a product key or PAK. You may find a product key printed on a physical copy
of your product. A product key contains 25 characters and always starts with the letter P.

QNAP License Store. A PAK contains 24 digits of random numbers.

the DIF to License Manager in exchange for the license install file (LIF). You can then activate the license
