How to Activate WP Migrate
This guide shows how to activate WP Migrate and your license key. WP Migrate cannot receive plugin updates or provide access to premium features without a valid license key on the WordPress site where the plugin is installed.
If the company you work for has purchased an Organization license, the person who purchased the license within your company will need to assign a seat to your email address and send you the license key.
Installation & Activation
Follow these steps to activate WP Migrate:
- Download the plugin zip from the WP Migrate section of the Licenses page in your account.
- Copy your license key from the Licenses page.
- Install and activate the plugin on your WordPress site.
- Navigate to Tools > WP Migrate, enter your license key, and click Activate License.
WP Migrate Lite is automatically deactivated when you activate WP Migrate on your WordPress Plugins page. Profiles you have created with WP Migrate Lite will still be available in WP Migrate and can continue to be used. You can safely delete WP Migrate Lite after installing WP Migrate.
Finding Your License Key
Each WP Migrate order generates a unique license key associated with your account. Log in to your account and click Licenses to view the available licenses and license keys for plugins you have purchased.
Activating Your WP Migrate License Key
You can activate your license through the WordPress dashboard, or by defining your license key in your wp-config.php file.
WordPress Dashboard Activation
To activate your license, log in to your WordPress admin and navigate to the Tools > WP Migrate > Settings page.
Enter your license key into the input field and click Activate License.
Activating WP Migrate in wp-config.php
To activate your license via your wp-config.php file, add the following line to the file, replacing [key] with your license key:
define( 'WPMDB_LICENCE', '[key]' );
Notes
When copying and pasting your license key, please make sure to copy all characters. License keys do not contain spaces, but contain both lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers and special characters.
Per-User License Activation
When a license key is activated in WP Migrate, the license is applied to the site user activating the license. This allows you to use your license key on a client site without giving them access to your license. It also allows your client to purchase and activate their own license, suitable to their specific needs.
