# Pro Quick Draw is grayed-out on my toolbar and I can't access the plug-in

## Your machine needs to be licensed by inputting credentials in the Licensing Settings

### If Pro Quick Draw is visible on your toolbar but greyed out and un-clickable, credentials must be properly input to license the software

 

Go to the right side of the **Home** tab toolbar and select the **Licensing** wrench icon

![LICENSING - MACHINE](https://help.proquickdraw.com/hs-fs/hubfs/LICENSING%20-%20MACHINE.png?width=227&name=LICENSING%20-%20MACHINE.png)

Click the **About** Tab in this menu to see if your trial or license is **Licensed** or **Inactive**

![](https://help.proquickdraw.com/hubfs/image-png-Sep-11-2023-02-04-45-0538-PM.png)

If it has **Expired** your trial may have ended or your renewal has not been set up

[Email us](mailto:support@proquickdraw.com) for renewal support or to purchase a license

 

If you believe it has not yet expired, attempt to re-license your machine with your credentials
