# Upgrading Your Bot

## How to upgrade your bot?

* Just purchased a premium token and want to upgrade your bot? First, you'll need to locate your [<mark style="color:blue;">**BotGhost Dashboard settings**</mark>](https://btghst.info/settings) in order to upgrade your bot:&#x20;

* At the top of your settings page, you should see an orange box with the message 'Premium Tokens Available'. To activate premium on that specific bot, press the 'Upgrade Bot' button! &#x20;

![Note: Ensure you've selected the right bot before interacting with this button](https://1937909199-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-Lm_hW5MApY3J0lRhi0M%2Fuploads%2FbT6dPmGazwGvCGrfUVNR%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=5189d792-d7ca-44dd-a10f-92900bb688fc)

## How to activate the free premium?

Unlike a paid subscription, free premium tokens must be claimed and activated by the [<mark style="color:blue;">**Free Premium**</mark>](https://dashboard.botghost.com/dashboard/freepremium) module itself. To claim your premium, head on over to the method you chose and click the "Claim x days of BotGhost premium" button if you've completed all the steps correctly.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
You can't upgrade your bot to a paid premium subscription while your bot has a free premium activated. Wait until the free premium runs out and you'll be able to upgrade the bot!
