+description: Troubleshooting common license activation issues in Msty

+
+
+## Activation Not Persisting
+
+If you're having trouble with your Msty license activation not persisting, it might be related to your desktop environment.
+
+To resolve this, set the `XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP` environment variable to `GNOME` before launching the app. This ensures Msty can interact properly with the keychain for storing your license.

+  export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP='GNOME' && ./<FileName>.AppImage
+  ```
