== Creating an account ==

If you want to play with other players online in multiplayer, you need to unlock your Live for Speed.

To unlock Live for Speed you need to be registered on the official website [http://www.lfs.net www.lfs.net] - click on {{button|Create account}} at the top right of the start page and enter the requested information for username, email address and country. If you were sent a voucher code, you may enter it on that page, or later if you prefer. When you click on {{button|Submit}} you will be sent an email containing a link for verification of your account. After clicking on this link, your account will be created and you will be logged in automatically.

== Unlocking Live for Speed ==

{{steps
| Go to your [https://www.lfs.net/account/details?uc{{=}}5 Personal Details page] at www.lfs.net.
| Click "send email with a new unlock code" in the '''Unlock code''' section and wait for an e-mail to arrive in your inbox.
| Go to your e-mail provider and copy the unlock code from the e-mail.
| Start Live for Speed and press {{button|Unlock Live for Speed}}, fill in your username and the unlock code and press {{button|Unlock|green}}. If unlocking is successful, you will see a message saying "Welcome to LFS demo/S1/S2/S3", depending on your license. Now you have access to the [[tracks]] and [[cars]] you own and you can join multiplayer.
}}

=== How many times can I unlock Live for Speed? ===

When you first buy a license you may unlock the game up to 3 times. This allows you to unlock LFS and [[LFS Editor]] on two computers and keep one spare unlock for each. After that, you will receive another spare unlock at the end of every week (on Fridays to be more specific), up to a maximum of 2, so that if you re-install Windows or upgrade your computer, you can always unlock Live for Speed again.

== Joining a multiplayer server ==

{{further|Game Modes/Multiplayer|Game Modes - Multiplayer}}

[[Image:Serverlist.jpg|thumb|List of hosts in multiplayer mode]]

Click {{button|Multiplayer}} and then {{button|List of Hosts}}, select a server that looks interesting and join instantly. Many hosts run short races of a few laps, so there isn't usually too long to wait for a restart. Most public hosts allow you to join mid-race. Just make sure you keep out of the way of the people who started the race before you joined! There are also several online racing leagues you can take part in if you are looking for something with a more competitive edge.

== Buying additional content ==

[[Image:All default cars available in Live for Speed.jpg|thumb|All default cars available in Live for Speed]]

If you have just started with Live for Speed, it is a demo with [[:Category:Demo contents|limited content]]. To access more [[Cars|cars]] & [[Tracks|tracks]] and use all features that Live for Speed offers, you need to buy a license at the [https://www.lfs.net/shop/licenseselect official shop page] using the payment method of your choice, or a voucher code.

Live for Speed offers three licenses to buy: S1, S2 and S3. Each license includes additional cars and tracks, and other features like increased number of racers on a server, automatic car skin downloads, custom car skins, custom autocross layouts and reversed track configurations. The [[S3 license]] also includes access to the [[Vehicle Mods]] system, allowing you to use existing mods and create new ones using [[LFS Editor]]. All licenses are for lifetime and are a one-off fee.

When you have paid for your license and it shows S1/S2/S3 [https://www.lfs.net/account/status on the account status page], you are ready to unlock S1/S2/S3 content. In order to do so, in LFS, you have to press {{button|Unlock|green}} again, similarly to when you initially unlocked with your newly registered account. You should now be greeted with a message that reflects your upgraded license level.

=== What if I already have a lower license and want to buy more content? ===

The license contents add up. For example, if buy an [[S2 license]], you will get all cars & tracks from [[:Category:Demo contents|demo]], [[:Category:S1 contents|S1]] and [[:Category:S2 contents|S2]]. If you already own an [[S1 license]] and buy an [[S2 license]] later, you will only pay the difference between S1 and S2.
