Aktivieren Sie Ihre MemberPress-Lizenz

Following your MemberPress plan purchase, you should install the MemberPress plugin on your website. Next, you must activate your MemberPress license key for the plugin to work correctly. 

This document explains the basics of MemberPress plans and licenses, and guides you through the license activation process.

MemberPress Plans And Licenses

MemberPress plans offer different benefits and access to different add-on plugins. The MemberPress plugin edition and your license key are also plan-specific.

To illustrate, if you subscribed to the MemberPress Pro plan, your license will work with the MemberPress Pro plugin. 

Anmerkung: The MemberPress plugin edition and the license must be related to the same MemberPress plan.

You can always switch to another MemberPress plan but must update your plugin and license key. 

Anmerkung: Switching to another plan will not automatically update the plugin edition and license on your website. You will need to update them manually. 

MemberPress License Activations

Each MemberPress plan comes with a limited number of license activations. Activating the MemberPress plugin on any website will use up one license activation. 

You must activate the license key for each WordPress website on which you installed the MemberPress plugin. Thus, if you install MemberPress on the main domain (e.g. IhreDomain.de), and the sub-domain (e.g. us.yourdomain.com), you must activate both.  

Furthermore, if you also have staging websites, you must activate the license key on a staging website. This will also use up one license activation.

You can see all the websites on which you activated your license key. The list of your websites is available under the Standort-Aktivierungen section in your MemberPress.com Account.

Once you hit the Site activation limit for your MemberPress plan, you cannot use your license key on additional websites. Here, you can deactivate one of the existing site activations and then activate the key on the other website. 

Anmerkung: Sie können contact MemberPress support about additional staging license activations.
