+## Activate Dashboard
+
+Before using Dashboard, it is necessary to configure License Manager (LM) to validate the effectiveness of the license and activate Dashboard.
+
+Users can configure LM in two ways to use Dashboard:
+
+- Configure LM directly through Dashboard:
+
+  The dashboard currently supports visual one-click deployment of LM. After logging into Dashboard, follow the steps below to complete the deployment of LM and start using Dashboard.
+
+  1. Click **Start** on the LM Introduction page: This page introduces the relevant concepts and overall process of LM, including installation of LM, generation of License Key, and running LM. Click **Start** to continue.
+
+  2. Fill in the configuration information and install LM: You need to fill in the host IP, SSH-related information, installation path, License Manager port, etc. After filling in the information, click **Install LM** to install it.
+
+  3. View LMID and generate License Key: After successfully installing LM, LMID will be generated. Users can copy LMID and [bind the LMID to generate a license key on LC](../9.about-license/2.license-management-suite/2.license-center.md#bind-lmid-to-generate-a-license-key). Users need to fill in the License Key in the Dashboard interface and click **Confirm** to complete the configuration of the License.
+
+!!! note
+
+    If the user already has a License Key, then can click on the **Configuration LM URL** in the top right corner, enter the LM URL directly, and then click **Confirm** to complete the configuration of the License.
+
+- Configure LM through the installation package:
+
+  1. Install and start LM, and load the License Key in LM. For details, please refer to [License Manager](../9.about-license/2.license-management-suite/3.license-manager.md).
+
+  2. In the installation path of Dashboard, go to the `etc` directory, and modify the `config.yaml` file. Set the value of `LicenseManagerURL` to the host IP and port number 9119 where LM is located, for example, `192.168.8.xxx:9119`. Users can also log into Dashboard and set the value of `LicenseManagerURL` in the License Manager Installation Guide page under **Configuration LM URL**.
