# Activation Limits

How ENERCALC SEL enforces concurrent activation limits based on the number of seats you purchased.

## How are activation limits handled?

Your ENERCALC License Agreement grants you permission to run up to a certain number of concurrent instances of ENERCALC SEL, based on the number of "seats" you have purchased. The software ensures that you do not exceed your maximum permissible number of concurrent instances by requiring that the software obtain "permission" or "activation" in order to run.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.enercalc.com/sel-faq/setup-and-licensing/installation-activation-lice/how-it-works/copy-protection.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
