How do I activate the plugins license?
Here’s a quick guide to activate your plugin license using the Easy Digital Downloads setup:
Step 1: Download and Install the Plugin
Download the plugin from the provided link after purchase. To install it, go to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Plugins’ > Add New > Upload Plugin, and then upload the .zip file of the plugin. Click ‘Install Now’ and then ‘Activate Plugin’ once the installation is complete.
Step 2: Locate the License Activation Section
After activation, most plugins will have a dedicated section for license activation in their settings. This is usually found under the plugin’s settings tab in your WordPress dashboard. It is called License.
Step 3: Enter Your License Key
In the license activation section, you’ll find a field to enter your license key. Copy and paste the license key you received upon purchasing the plugin into this field.
Step 4: Activate the License
After entering the license key, click the Activate License button. This will communicate with the server to verify the license key. If the key is valid, your plugin will be activated, and you’ll get access to updates and support.
Step 5: Check for Confirmation
Once activated, you should see a confirmation message indicating that the license is active.
Tips:
- Keep Your License Key Confidential: Treat your license key like a password. It’s unique to your purchase and should not be shared.
- Check for Updates Regularly: With an active license, you’ll receive updates. Regularly check and update the plugin for optimal performance and security.
- Backup Your Site: Before installing and activating any plugin, always backup your website to prevent data loss.
Conclusion
Activating a plugin license is a straightforward process that ensures you get the most out of your purchase. By keeping your license active, you maintain access to essential updates and support, ensuring your plugin continues to function effectively on your website.
