License

The License tab is at WB Plugins > Edit Activity > License.

Activating your license key enables automatic plugin updates through the WordPress updates screen. Without an active license you can still use the plugin, but you will need to update it manually by downloading a new copy from your Wbcom Designs account.

  1. Go to WB Plugins > Edit Activity > License.
  2. Paste your license key into the License key field.
  3. Click Activate License.

The status pill next to the field updates. A status of Active means automatic updates are enabled. Once active, the key is masked (only the last 4 characters show) and the field becomes read-only.

Status Meaning
Active License is valid and this site is registered. Updates are enabled.
Saved, not activated A key has been saved but not yet activated against this site.
Expired The license period has ended. Renew to restore updates.
Invalid The key was not recognized. Check for typos or confirm the key in your account.
Disabled The key has been disabled. Contact support.
Site inactive The key is valid but not registered to this domain. Click Activate License.
Not activated No key has been saved yet.

To move the license to a different site, deactivate it here first:

  1. Go to WB Plugins > Edit Activity > License.
  2. Click Deactivate License.

The key field becomes editable again and the site count on your account decreases by one.

When your license is active, the tab shows how many sites are using it (for example, “1 of 3 sites”). If you have used all available site slots, deactivate an old site before activating a new one.

If your license has an expiry date, the tab shows it. When expiry is within 30 days, a renewal warning appears. Lifetime licenses display Lifetime as the expiry value and never show this warning.

Your key is in your Wbcom Designs account under the purchase for BuddyPress Edit Activity.
