Download acces code vs activation of C12 ?!

Hi Guys,
Few days ago I purcased the c12, and I put the Download Acces Code into my Steinberg account.
Question - if I only put and redeemed my DAC on my Steinberg account, so it means that my Cubase12 has been already activated ?

Mant thanks in advance for some info,
mofkt

Hi Steve,
Thank you for info. Indeed according to SAM my C12 is not activated. I need to activate it.
Btw. If I activate my C12 during grace period, will then I be eligible for a free upgrade to C13?
Many thanks once again.
