License and updates
Who Viewed My Profile uses Easy Digital Downloads Software Licensing to deliver automatic updates. When you purchased the plugin you received a license key in your order confirmation email. You can also find it under My Account at https://wbcomdesigns.com.
Find the tab at WB Plugins > Profile Views > License in the WordPress admin.
Activate your license
Section titled “Activate your license”- Go to WB Plugins > Profile Views > License.
- Paste your license key into the License key field.
- Click Activate License.
- The status changes to Active and the key field becomes read-only.
- WordPress now shows update notifications in Plugins > Installed Plugins when new versions are released.
Deactivate your license
Section titled “Deactivate your license”- On the same License tab, click Deactivate License.
- The key field unlocks so you can paste a different key.
Deactivating removes this site from the license’s activation count. The license stays attached to your account, you just free up the slot so you can use the same key on another site.
