License activation
You can activate your license to get automatic updates and support for WP Career Board Pro. The license does not switch any website feature on or off. Every Pro feature works with no license, an expired license or an invalid key. The one exception is the companion mobile app connection, which stays off until the license is valid.
Find your license key
Section titled “Find your license key”Your license key is in your purchase confirmation email. You can also find it in your account at wbcomdesigns.com.
Activate with the setup wizard
Section titled “Activate with the setup wizard”After you activate Pro on a site that has already finished Free’s setup wizard, you land on a short Pro wizard. Its steps are:
- License - paste the key and click Activate & Continue. Click Skip for now to do this later.
- How Employers Pay - set the Low Balance Alert level (employers get an email when their balance drops to it) and see whether credit sales are ready. If they are not, the step tells you to turn on Stripe or PayPal and add a credit pack, or map a WooCommerce, PMPro or MemberPress product.
- Pro Pages - creates the Find Candidates and Job Map pages. This step shows only when one of them is missing.
On a brand new install, Pro adds the License and How Employers Pay steps to Free’s own setup wizard.
Activate from Settings
Section titled “Activate from Settings”- Go to Career Board > Settings > License.
- Paste the key into the license key field.
- Click the activate button next to it.
The License status card then shows the product, the status, the expiry date (or Lifetime) and how many sites use the license (for example “2 of 5 sites”, or “Unlimited”). The Usage Data setting controls whether the updater shares usage data with wbcomdesigns.com.
