This article explains how to activate your plugin license key and start receiving automatic updates for the PRO plugin version.
A license key is required to enable PRO features, receive automatic plugin updates, and access support while your license is active.
Find your license key
After purchase, you should receive an email with your license details. This email includes your license key and a link to download the plugin files.
You can also find your license key inside your customer account.

Before activating your license key, make sure that you have already installed and activated the PRO version of the plugin on your website.
If you need help installing the plugin, please see this guide: How to install plugin.
To activate your license key:
- Copy your license key from the purchase email or from your customer account.
- Open your WordPress dashboard.
- Go to the plugin settings page.
- Open the Updates or License tab.
- Paste your license key into the license field.
- Click the Activate License button.

After license activation
After your license key is activated, you will start receiving PRO plugin updates directly inside your WordPress dashboard.
Plugin updates will work the same way as updates for other standard WordPress plugins. You can go to Plugins → Installed Plugins and update the plugin when a new version is available.

Activate the license on each website
You need to activate your license key on each website where you want to use the premium plugin version.
If you use the plugin on several live websites, each live website will count as one license activation based on your license plan.
What if I use WordPress multisite?
If you use WordPress multisite, the plugin should be network activated.
You still need to activate your license key on each site in the multisite network where you want to use the premium plugin version. Each such activation counts as one site activation.
License key activation problems
If your license key does not activate, please check that the key was copied correctly and that your license is still active.
Activation problems can also happen if your license has reached its site limit or if your website cannot connect to the license server.
