The number of sites you can use the plugin on depends on the license plan you purchased.
Each license includes a specific number of live site activations. For example, if you purchased a 1-site license, you can activate and use the plugin on one live website. If you purchased a multi-site license, you can use it on the number of live websites included in that plan.
What counts as a site?
A live website counts as one license activation.
You need to activate your license key on each live site where you want to use the premium version of the plugin and receive plugin updates.
If you are using WordPress Multisite, you need to activate the license on each site inside the network where the plugin is used. Each site in the network counts as one license activation.
For example:
- 1-site license - can be used on 1 live website.
- 5-site license - can be used on up to 5 live websites.
- 25-site license - can be used on up to 25 live websites.
- Lifetime license - follows the same site limit as the lifetime plan you purchased.
Do staging, test, or local sites count?
No. Local, test, staging, and development sites do not count toward your live site activation limit.
You can activate your license on an unlimited number of local, test, or development WordPress installs, as long as the site URL matches one of the supported development URL patterns.
You can read more about this in our detailed guide: Can I use my license on a test/development site?
Common examples include:
localhost127.0.0.1192.168.**.local*.test*.dev*.staging*.sandboxdev.*test.*stage.*staging.*
We also support many popular hosting and temporary development domains, such as Cloudways, InstaWP, WP Engine, Flywheel, Kinsta, Pantheon, and others.
If your staging site uses a custom URL and is counted as a live site by mistake, please contact us and we will help you check it.
What about WordPress Multisite?
If you are using WordPress Multisite, each site inside the multisite network counts as a separate site activation.
For example, if your multisite network has 3 sites where the plugin is used, you need a license plan that supports at least 3 site activations.
Can I move my license to another domain?
Yes. You can move your license to another domain.
To do this, first deactivate the license on the old website, then activate it again on the new one. You can manage license activations from the plugin settings page or from your customer account.
You can read the full step-by-step guide here: How to move my license to another domain.
What if I need more site activations?
If you need to use the plugin on more live sites than your current license allows, you can upgrade your license plan.
This is useful if you started with a single-site license and later decided to use the plugin on more client sites, stores, or projects.
