4. Activate Xerolite License

What this does: You're telling XeroLite that you've paid for it (or are on a trial) so it can run beyond the 15-day free trial.

Why it matters: Without activation, XeroLite stops working after 15 days. You won't be able to place trades. This step is required for ongoing use.

XeroLite requires a valid license key to operate. This guide walks you through activating your license key.
