# Obtaining your WHMCS license

WebHost Manager Complete Solution (WHMCS) is a powerful client management system which provides the front-facing website for your clients to order hosting services and complete payment of invoices.

It also manages your customer data and offers hands-free automation of hosting provisioning, renewals and recurring invoicing.

Your WHMCS license key can be obtained through your Krystal Client Area.

1.  Login to your [Krystal Client Area](https://krystal.uk/client/)
2.  Click **My Services**.

3.  Identify your reseller package and click the **Manage** button.

4.  Scroll to the bottom of the screen to the WHMCS License section. Click the **Claim Now** button to generate your license - if you're on Unity you'll be prompted to proceed with the purchase of a WHMCS license as it's not included as standard.

5.  You'll then be able to view your WHMCS license.  
    If you have a Unity plan you'll need to return to the WHMCS License section of the product details once you've paid the invoice.

    You'll also see options to upgrade from **Starter** (250 clients, branded 'Powered by WHMCS') to the **Plus** (250 clients, unbranded), **Professional** (1000 clients, unbranded) or **Business** (unlimited clients, unbranded) tier of WHMCS for an additional fee.  
    You can also download the latest version of WHMCS from here by clicking the **Download Vx.x.x** button - but we'd recommend you install WHMCS via Softaculous.
