has already activated vs is already activated

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Has already activated' is used when referring to an action that was completed in the past. The phrase 'is already activated' is used to indicate the current state of activation. Therefore, the choice between the two depends on whether you are talking about the completion of an action or the current status.
