A license key is required to receive software updates, access email support, and utilize premium features in the plugin.
When you go through the First-time Configuration for ArchiveWP, the first step is to activate your license key. If you want to skip the First-time Configuration onboarding wizard, you can activate your license key on the License Settings page.

The License Settings page can be found by going to Settings → ArchiveWP → License.
