After purchasing a premium PluginEver plugin, you need to activate its license key to unlock all Pro features. This guide walks you through finding your key and activating it on your WordPress site.
Note: If you are installing a Freemium plugin (such as WC Serial Numbers or WC Min Max Quantities), both the free and pro version must be installed and activated on your site.
Step 1: Find Your License Key
Your license key is available in two places: your purchase confirmation email and your PluginEver account.
Option A – From Your Purchase Email
Check your inbox for the purchase confirmation email from PluginEver. It contains your license key and a direct download link for the plugin.
Option B – From Your PluginEver Account
- Log in to your account at pluginever.com/login.
- Click the Licenses tab in your account dashboard.
- Find the plugin you purchased and copy the license key.
Step 2: Install the Premium Plugin
If you have not yet installed the premium plugin on your WordPress site, do that now before proceeding. Follow the Installing a Premium Plugin guide, then return here to complete license activation.
Step 3: Activate Your License Key
With the plugin installed and active on your site, you can now connect it to your license key.
- In your WordPress admin dashboard, go to Plugins → Installed Plugins.
- Find the premium plugin you installed. Below its name, locate the License Activation field.
- Paste the license key you copied in Step 1 into the field.
- Click Activate. You will see a confirmation message that the license is active and all Pro features are unlocked.
Troubleshooting
| The License Activation field is not visible | Confirm that both the free and premium versions of the plugin are installed and active. The license field will not appear if the free version is missing. |
| The license key is not working | Check the following: – Make sure you are using the key for the correct plugin – each plugin has its own unique key. – Check whether the key has reached its activation limit (visible in your account under the Licenses tab). – Verify that the license has not expired. |
| The site cannot connect to the license server | Some hosting environments block outbound connections. Contact your hosting provider and ask them to whitelist outbound requests to pluginever.com. |
| Still stuck? | Contact the PluginEver support team from your account dashboard under the Support tab, or visit pluginever.com/support. |
