    You can just download and run the file.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.

    if you mean windows product key, it will activate automatically at the first data connection.
    I'm not an Acer employee.

    The trackpad on the Predator disables it too. Always forget this.
