# Licensing Certain features in SpatialExplorer 5.X require a valid license to run. SpatialExplorer features additional advanced post processing modules such as LiDARSnap (LiDAR calibration), CameraSnap (camera calibration), and Automated Classification. A full report of licensed features can be found below or on [Our Website](https://www.phoenixlidar.com/software/). {% hint style="info" %} Please contact our sales team at if you are interested in purchasing a SpatialExplorer license {% endhint %} To access the Licensing utility, navigate to Tools --> Licensing. ![Licensing utility in SpatialExplorer 5.X](/files/-LscrcXaJ61oNLe9sPNL) If there is no License present, the "Activation Key" field will be empty. ![No valid license found in SpatialExplorer 5.X](/files/-Lsd0sQlq66g0eozbGa9) {% hint style="info" %} An invalid license or missing key is indicated by a red circle with a red diagonal line through it. {% endhint %} ## Activate License To activate a license, enter the unique alphanumeric key into the "Activation Key" field.
