How License Key Delivery and Activation Work
What happens after payment is confirmed, how your license key is delivered, what happens if stock runs out, and when your activation period begins.
What Happens After Payment Is Confirmed?
Once payment is confirmed, your license key is allocated automatically and delivered through two channels at once: it is sent to your email address and written to your order history in your account area. Payment is processed through Shopier, and once the confirmation notification reaches our system, the order moves to "paid" status and the system allocates an available license key to your order. This step is not done manually — it's triggered the instant payment confirmation arrives, and it usually completes within minutes.
How Delivery Timing Works
Delivery starts the moment the payment provider's confirmation reaches our system, and it runs automatically from end to end. That notification can take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes; our system allocates the key as soon as it arrives. So we don't make promises down to the second — what we do promise is that no step in the process waits on manual approval, and that nothing is required from you.
Why Your Order Number Matters
Your order number matters because it is the single point of correlation between your payment and your order. Every order gets a unique reference on both the payment provider's side and ours, which is why it's the first thing support will ask for. You can find it in your order history in the account area, next to the purchase date. Noting it down means any future question can be resolved in seconds instead of back-and-forth messages.
Where Does Your License Key Appear?
Your license key appears in two places at once: your email inbox and your order history in your account area. Delivery deliberately isn't a single channel: even if your email lands in spam, is mistyped, or your provider is delayed, your key remains permanently available in your account. A lost email does not mean a lost purchase.
Once logged in, you can open the relevant order in your order history and view or copy the key directly from that order record.
If you've purchased more than one product, each order carries its own key separately — one order's key never overwrites or gets mixed up with another's. Likewise, if you buy the same product again later, the previous order's key stays in your account as a historical record; it isn't replaced.
What Happens If No Key Is in Stock?
The key pool is refilled automatically in the background: whenever it drops below a set threshold, the system tops it up on its own. That's why running out of stock is an exception rather than a routine outcome. If the pool is caught empty anyway, the system attempts to produce a new key right after the purchase and, when that succeeds, completes the delivery itself — this second layer usually works fast enough that you never notice it.
If neither layer resolves it, the order moves into a "waiting for stock" state. In that case your payment is safe and your order does not close: it stays open until the key is delivered, and it is not cancelled. You receive a notification email along the lines of "payment received, your key is being prepared"; an admin completes the order and the key is delivered to both your account and your email. You can follow your order's status from the account area at every stage.
If your payment went through, your order is open: it does not close until the key is delivered.
When Does the License Period Start?
Your license period starts the moment you activate the key inside the loader — not at the moment of purchase and not at delivery. Our products are offered in 1-day, 3-day and 30-day variants, and whichever one you buy, that countdown only begins with the first activation. This means that if you don't plan to use the key right away, buying it doesn't burn the clock: delivery and activation are two separate moments. Buy today, activate a week later, and your period starts a week later.
There's a practical consequence to this. A product can still be purchased while the status page shows it as "Updating" — as long as the product is active in the store, the purchase isn't blocked. Because the period starts at activation, waiting for the product to become usable again doesn't cost you days — the key sits in your account and you activate it when you're ready. The status page carries current information for every product, so you can decide on your activation moment from there.
What If I Want Another Period?
There is no renewal or extension mechanism in the system. When your period runs out, your existing key isn't extended; you place a new order, and that order produces a new license key and a new delivery record. The old key stays in your account as a historical record. In short, there is no "add days to the same key" step to look for — every purchase comes with its own key, and you start that key's period with your own activation.
Downloading and Installing the Loader
Once your key is delivered, you download the corresponding loader file straight from your account area. The download link is tied to your order: no hunting for files on forums, no waiting for an invite code, no opening a ticket in a Discord server and waiting your turn. You log into your account and the file is there.
Setup Is Two Steps
Download the loader, enter your key inside it. Activation completes at that step and your period starts running from there; there are no config files to edit and no additional setup steps to complete.
It is quick, too: across every product in our catalogue, setup takes under a minute on average. That holds for every category, USB products included; on the USB side you plug in your own USB stick, and that adds no meaningful time either. There is no preparation stage that demands technical knowledge, no file to configure, and nothing to wait on.
Two things are still worth watching. Only download the loader from your own account area — a file from a third-party source, a forum, or a sharing site isn't tied to your order and its safety can't be guaranteed. Never share your key with anyone else — a key is tied to a single account and typically a single device, and sharing it causes activation problems. If you hit an error message, writing to support with your order record and the exact error text speeds up the fix.
You can check a product's current detection status before buying or activating on the status page; no product is sold as "never detected," and the status page exists for exactly that reason. We covered what those labels mean and how the page should be read in what "undetected" means and how to read the status page.
Key Hasn't Arrived? What to Do
If your payment went through but no key is visible, check these in order:
- Check your order history in the account area — the key usually appears there before the email does.
- Check your email's spam/junk folder.
- Check the order status; if it shows "waiting for stock," the key is in preparation.
- If none of the above resolves it, open a support ticket with your order number.
What Support Can and Cannot Do
Support can check your order status, prioritize an order that's waiting for stock, verify a key that never reached your email by checking your account record, and guide you through technical issues during loader download or activation.
Support cannot speed up an order whose payment confirmation hasn't arrived yet, and cannot restart a key's period from the purchase date — the period starts at activation, which is a fixed rule of how the system works rather than a matter of support discretion.
When opening a ticket, including your order number, the purchase date, and a clear description of the issue (key not showing, loader throwing an error, activation not completing) lets the team route you straight to a resolution without extra back-and-forth. A screenshot or the exact error text works better than a general description.
One Last Check Before You Buy

In short: the moment payment is confirmed, your key is allocated automatically, delivered through two separate channels, and kept permanently in your account. Your period doesn't start running until you activate it, and all that takes is downloading the loader from your account and entering the key. When looking at a product like Valorant USB, you can also see its current state on the status page and decide from there.
