Add Website

The Add Website button will allow you to generate a new license key for your website.  To add a new website to your list, simply click “Add Website” and then input your website URL. 

⚠️Note: Please do not manually type in the URL as it might lead to mistypes, in which case the license will not work, copy and paste directly from the browser address bar.

Click on the Add button and your domain will be added to your list of websites. From the list, you can then copy your newly generated license key by clicking the copy icon.

License Options

License options

You can access different license options from the ellipsis icon beside the license status. You’ll get a dropdown option by clicking on that icon.  Here, the available options are:

  • Deactivate: This button will deactivate the connection between our licensing system and the plugin installed on your website.
  • Regenerate: This button regenerates the license code for this website. Use this when you feel like your license key was compromised or if you need a new one.
  • Edit Domain: Use this to edit the URL of your website connected with this license key. If you are migrating to a new domain, or want to use the premium plugin on a different domain.
Expiration dates for time-limited plans start from the day you purchased the plan, not the day you activated the license.

Downloads

The Downloads section contains your premium plugins. You can also download previous versions of each theme from this page. So, if you want to perform a rollback, you can get it from here. But, it is strongly advised to use the most up-to-date version of each theme.

Troubleshooting and FAQ

  • I can’t activate my key! What do I do?

There are a few reasons that can cause errors while activating your products. 

  1. You probably mistyped your website’s URL. So please copy and paste the link from the browser address bar instead of typing it in manually.
  2. If you change the website URL to an existing license but did not regenerate the license key. You must regenerate the license key every time you change the website link.
  3. If these are not the reasons, you can simply regenerate the key if the existing one is not working. After creating a new key and binding it to your website, your theme will be activated. 
  • I still can’t activate my key! Now what?

If you can’t activate your key, go to your Themeum order page and share a screenshot of the order with the Themeum support team or mail us at [email protected].  You will need to share the license key if the issue is related to the key not working and if you want to activate the product on your site. 

  • What happens after the license expires?

After your license expires, you will stop receiving future updates and bug fixes. But, you will still be able to use the theme as you were without any disruption to your site. You will only stop receiving automatic future updates containing security fixes, new features, and improvements to the product.
