# Validate Keys The Validate Keys area of the QLM Management Console allows you to interactively test a key to determine whether it is valid. To validate a license key, paste it into the License Key text field and click Validate a license key. If the license is valid, the information contained in the key is decrypted and displayed in the form. IMPORTANT: For computer-bound license keys, you need to enter the Computer Identifier field before validating the license. QLM cannot validate a computer-bound license key without the Computer Identifier. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
