How to Activate Your License Key
A valid license key is required to access auto-updates, security patches, and premium technical support. Your license keys are generated instantly upon purchase.
Finding Your License Key
Your license key can be found in two places:
- **Your Email Receipt:** Sent from Freemius immediately after checkout.
- **My Account Portal:** Log in to your account page, select the **Licenses** tab, and copy the key string.
Activating in WordPress
- Navigate to your WordPress dashboard.
- Click the new product menu that appears in the sidebar (e.g., **SEO Booster** or **Cache Optimizer**).
- In the activation box, paste your licensing key code.
- Click **Activate License**.
- Once validated, your settings panel will unlock, and you will see a 'License Active' status confirmation.
Troubleshooting Activation Failures
- **Whitespace errors:** Ensure you didn't accidentally select leading or trailing spaces when copying the key.
- **Firewall blocks:** Some hosting firewalls block outgoing requests. Ensure your host is not blocking outgoing connections to `freemius.com`.
