If it's set up correctly you should be able to activate it from the 'modules' button (one of the little cluster of buttons at the tpo-right of the desktop)

If your module doesn't show up in the list of modules then it's possibly because the rulesets differ.
To check this: copy the .mod file, rename it to .zip and extract the contents. Look at the definition.xml file it should look something like this

Code:

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<root version="1.05">
 <name value="Temple of the Toad" />
 <ruleset name="d20" />
</root>

The ruleset name needs to match the ruleset of your campaign.

Theres some more info in this thread https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...eset#post23383 that might also be relevant to your situation.
Have copied the most relevant bits here:

<acceptfrom ruleset="d20" />
</importinfo>

You can - but its a lot of goofin around with the file. As its possible there are links in the module that will only work with the AE ruleset.

There are people round these parts that have more knowledge with this kinda thing than I - so they may be better able to assist you
