License
The License tab is where you activate your Jetonomy Pro license key. Activating unlocks every Pro extension and turns on automatic updates. This tab appears only when Jetonomy Pro is installed and active.
What You Will Learn
- Where to find the License tab and what it does
- How to activate your license key
- How the license unlocks Pro extensions
- What happens when a license is missing, expired, or deactivated
Go to Jetonomy → Settings → License to open this screen. The tab is added by Jetonomy Pro and is not present on free-only installs.
Activating Your License
- Open Jetonomy → Settings → License.
- Paste your license key into the License Key field. You receive this key in your purchase receipt and in your store account.
- Click Activate License.
On success you see a "License activated successfully" confirmation, and the screen switches to a status view showing your masked key and the expiry date (or "Never (Lifetime License)" for lifetime plans).
How the License Unlocks Extensions
A valid license unlocks all Pro extensions - there is no per-feature or per-tier gating once the key is active. Each extension only runs when two conditions are both true:
- The extension is switched on under Jetonomy → Extensions.
- Your license is currently valid.
If the license is missing or expired, enabled extensions stop booting and their features (private messaging, polls, reactions, analytics, and so on) become unavailable, even though their toggles still show on the Extensions screen. Re-activating a valid key restores them immediately - your data is never deleted.
Updates
The license also powers automatic updates. With a valid key, Jetonomy Pro receives new versions through the normal WordPress Updates screen. Without an active license you can keep using the version you have, but you will not be offered Pro updates.
Deactivating a License
To move your license to a different site, click Deactivate License on the status view. This frees the activation slot so you can activate the same key elsewhere. Deactivating removes the stored key from this site and stops Pro updates and extensions until a valid key is activated again.
Troubleshooting
- "License is not active for this site." - The key is valid but its activation limit is reached, or it is registered to a different site. Deactivate it on the other site, or check your plan's site limit.
- Expired license - Renew from your store account, then re-activate. Extensions resume the moment a valid key is in place.
- Key not accepted - Confirm you pasted the full key with no trailing spaces, and that you are using the Pro license key (not an order number).
