# How to Enable DLC on Your Abiotic Factor Server (/docs/abiotic-factor/dlc-setup)



Abiotic Factor dedicated servers gather DLC ownership from admin players automatically.

How It Works [#how-it-works]

1. An admin who owns the DLC connects to the server
2. The server detects their DLC ownership and enables it
3. The DLC stays active even after the admin disconnects
4. Multiple admins' DLC is combined into a single list

Requirements [#requirements]

* You must be set as an [admin](/docs/abiotic-factor/admin-setup) on the server
* You must own the DLC on your Steam/platform account
* Connect to the server at least once after purchasing the DLC

> 📝 **Note:** No additional configuration is needed — DLC activation is automatic for admin players.
