Your Ultimate Affiliate Pro license connects a WordPress site to your account, so the site gets automatic updates, support and every premium feature. This guide shows you how to revoke the license on one site, activate it on another, manage your sites from your account and migrate a legacy license.
You activate the license the first time in Ultimate Affiliate Pro›Licensing; see Install and activate Ultimate Affiliate Pro. Everything else happens on the same screen and in your account on ultimateaffiliate.pro.
Check your license status #
Go to Ultimate Affiliate Pro›Licensing. The status at the top of the screen shows License active or Not activated.
The site this license is active on. It is filled in automatically with your site address.
Disconnects this site from your license, so you can activate it somewhere else.
In your account on ultimateaffiliate.pro, the Licenses tab shows the same license with its status and the number of activations in use.
Move your license to another site #
Use these steps when you move to a new domain, launch a new site, or switch from a staging site to your live site.
Revoke the license on the current site #
- On the site that has the license now, go to Ultimate Affiliate Pro›Licensing.
- Click Revoke the License. The license is revoked right away and the message You have just deactivated your license appears.
Revoking does not delete anything. Affiliates, referrals and settings stay on the site. Until you activate a license there again, the site does not get automatic updates and the advanced modules are not available.
Activate the license on the new site #
- Install Ultimate Affiliate Pro on the new site, if it is not installed yet.
- Go to Ultimate Affiliate Pro›Licensing, enter your Customer Name and License Key, and keep the Vendor on Ultimate Affiliate Pro Store.
- Click Activate the License. The status changes to License active.
Moving the same site to a new domain
If you move your whole site, with its database, to a new domain, revoke the license before the move. After the move, activate it again on the new domain. The Domain Name on the Licensing screen then shows the new address. For the move itself, see the official guide to migrating WordPress.
Manage your sites from your account #
If you can no longer open the old site, for example because it was deleted or its domain expired, free the activation from your account instead:
- Log in at ultimateaffiliate.pro/login and open the Licenses tab.
- Click Manage Sites on the Ultimate Affiliate Pro license.
- Deactivate the site you no longer use. Then activate the license on your new site.
Migrate a legacy license #
If you have a license for the legacy version of the plugin, connect it to an account on ultimateaffiliate.pro on the license migration page. After the migration, your license appears in your account dashboard, where you download the latest version, get updates as soon as they are released and manage your activations. Migration keeps all the rights of your original license.
If the Licensing screen shows a Needs Attention! notice asking you to revoke the existing key and activate the correct Pro license, click Revoke the License, then activate the license key from your ultimateaffiliate.pro account.
Frequently asked questions #
Can I use my license on more than one site?
Each site where you activate the license uses one activation. The Licenses tab of your account shows how many activations are in use and how many your license allows.
Do I lose my data when I revoke the license?
No. Revoking only disconnects the site from your license. Affiliates, referrals, payouts and settings stay where they are.
The old site is offline. How do I free the activation?
Log in to your account on ultimateaffiliate.pro, open the Licenses tab, click Manage Sites and deactivate the old site.
Can I keep the license active on a staging site?
Yes, but the staging site uses an activation. Revoke it on staging when you no longer need it there.
Is migrating a legacy license required?
No, but it is recommended. After the migration you manage the license, the downloads and the updates directly from your account on ultimateaffiliate.pro.
