# First Start

When you launch PrimeRaffles.exe from your PrimeRaffles folder a black cmd window will pop up. This is because it is a CLI bot. If it stays dark make sure you click onto the window and press enter to make sure that you have not frozen the program. This should now launch the bot without any issues (if you do encounter issues feel free to open a ticket). The first time you load the bot it will ask for your license key, which you can find on your dashboard. Type in the license key or copy it from the dashboard and right click on the window to paste it, after this just press enter and you are not validated. Once you are validated you will not have to input the key again unless you deactivate it.&#x20;

Here an example on how it should look like:

The bot will automatically validate your license on all following launches after the first login.

**Setting your API Keys**

The bot will generate a config.json file upon running the first time. Here you will have to input your 2Captcha API key aswell as keys for other services you want to use. Simply open it with a text editor and paste in your keys.

{% hint style="warning" %}

* If you do get errors, check your proxies and make sure you have a 2captcha key set in your config.json.
* If your having issues validating your license, deactivate it in the [dashboard](https://www.primeraffles.io/dashboard) and try again after.
