# activate and transfer

One premium subscription unlocks premium on **one server at a time**.\
You can move it between servers you own or admin as often as you like, subject to a 24-hour transfer cooldown.

## Activate for the first time

1. Subscribe on Dashboard → **Premium** → **Subscribe**.
2. Complete Stripe checkout.
3. Back on the Premium page you'll be prompted to pick a server to activate on, or run `/premium here` inside the target server.

You need **Manage Server** or **Administrator** in the target server to activate. This prevents someone with just a mod role from claiming premium there against the owner's wishes.

## Move premium to a different server

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="From Discord" %}

```
/premium transfer server_id:<discord server id>
```

Right-click the target server's icon → **Copy Server ID** (requires Developer Mode on in Discord settings) to get the ID.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="From the dashboard" %}
Dashboard → **Premium** → the server picker highlights your active server; select a different one and click **Move premium here**.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Cooldown

After any successful transfer there's a **24-hour cooldown** before you can transfer again. The error message shows the exact unlock timestamp. This prevents renting out premium by hopping servers.

Cooldown edge cases:

* **First activation** does NOT start a cooldown.
* Transferring to the **same server** you're already on is a no-op and doesn't start a cooldown.
* **Releasing** premium (`/premium release`) sets the same 24-hour cooldown so you can't cheese it by release → re-activate elsewhere.
* **Cancelling** your Stripe subscription clears the cooldown on the next resubscription.

## Release the slot

```
/premium release
```

Detaches premium from the current server without cancelling your subscription. Useful if you want to leave a server but keep paying premium for a different one later. Starts the 24-hour cooldown.

## Check status

```
/premium status
```
