## Pre-apply license to a custom AnyDesk client

You can apply your license to custom AnyDesk clients when creating them on [**my.anydesk.com**](http://my.anydesk.com). The license is added automatically during client creation, so the AnyDesk client is ready to use after installation.

> 💡 **NOTE**
> 
> For details on how to create custom clients, see [this article](/docs/create-custom-client).
