# Guide to BM License Delegation

After purchasing a Block Manager (BM) License, it is **not** activated automatically.\
To start earning rewards, the License must be **delegated.**\
\
If you plan to deploy the BM service on your own, [please follow this guide](https://docs.ackinacki.com/for-node-owners/network-participation/block-manager/licence/bm-license-pre-deployment-verification).

Delegation to a Provider can be done through the **Acki Nacki Dashboard**.

#### **Step 1. Log in to your** [**Acki Nacki Dashboard**](https://dashboard.ackinacki.com/) **account**

If you don’t have an account yet, please follow the [onboarding guide](https://docs.ackinacki.com/for-node-owners/protocol-participation/block-keeper/license/license-delegation-guide/dashboard-onboarding) to create one.

After logging in, go to the **Licenses** tab — there you can view all your licenses.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If, after completing the registration, you don't see your licenses on the **Licenses** tab, contact a Gosh representative through any publicly available channel or community group, and provide them with your `License Owner's public key`.
{% endhint %}

#### **Step 2. Filter BM Licenses**

You can use the filter to display only your **BM Licenses**.

Submit a delegation request by filling in the following fields:

* **`Block Manager Licenses amount`** – specify how many of your available licenses you want to delegate
* **Contact details** – provide information so the Node Provider can reach you:
  * Name
  * Email
  * Telegram

Enter your **passcode** in the **`Passcode`** field to confirm the information you entered above.

Check the box to confirm your intention to contact the provider to agree on the **delegation fee** and proceed with the **payment process**.
