Where to Enter the License Key

After the Pro plugin is installed, open the WordPress admin dashboard and locate the Antimanual Builder Pro license or account screen. The exact label may vary slightly, but the activation form is provided by the Pro plugin itself.

Copy the license key from your purchase confirmation email or customer account area, then paste it into the license input field. Enter the key exactly as issued. Extra spaces, missing characters, or accidental line breaks can prevent validation.

• Open the Pro plugin’s license or account screen.
• Paste the license key into the provided field.
• Click the Activate License button.
• Wait for the confirmation message and status update.

What Happens After Activation

When activation succeeds, the status panel will indicate that the license is active or confirmed. At that point, Pro features become available throughout the Antimanual Builder interface, including menus, block settings, and premium workflows.

Depending on your plan and plugin version, activation can unlock advanced controls such as enhanced import options, additional builder capabilities, release analytics, user subscriptions, and other Pro-only tools.

• Verify that the license status shows active or confirmed.
• Check that Pro-only options appear in the dashboard.
• Open a builder page and confirm the premium controls are available.

How to Verify a Successful Activation

A successful installation should be visible in the WordPress dashboard. Confirm that the free plugin remains active, the Pro plugin is active, and the license status shows as valid. If any of these items are missing, the activation may not be complete.

• The free plugin is active.
• The Pro plugin is active.
• The license panel shows a confirmed status.
• Premium settings and menus are visible in the admin area.

If the dashboard does not reflect the correct status immediately, refresh the admin page and check again. In some cases, the browser session or cached admin screen may delay the updated license state.

Troubleshooting Activation Issues

If the license does not activate, use the following checks to isolate the problem. Most activation issues are caused by an incorrect key, a missing dependency, or a restricted server environment.

• Invalid license key: copy the key again and remove any extra spaces.
• Connection errors: confirm that your hosting provider allows outbound requests for validation.
• Activation limit reached: deactivate the key on another site or contact support for a reset.
• Outdated plugins: update both the free and Pro versions before trying again.

If the key is rejected, re-enter it carefully without extra spaces and refresh the admin page after saving. If the issue remains unresolved, review your server firewall rules, verify the site has outbound network access, and contact support if necessary.

Best Practices for Ongoing License Management

Keeping your license active ensures uninterrupted updates, security patches, and access to premium feature enhancements. It also makes future site migrations easier because your license details remain ready for reactivation when needed.

• Keep both the free and Pro plugins active.
• Store your license key securely for renewals and migrations.
• Deactivate the license on the old site before moving to a new domain.
• Use a staging site when testing major changes to reduce risk.

Following these steps helps maintain stable access to premium functionality and minimizes interruptions during updates or server changes. For related setup details, review the licensing overview and activation guidance.

Summary

Activating the Pro license is the final step in enabling the premium Antimanual Builder Pro experience. Install the Pro plugin, keep the free plugin active, enter the license key exactly as provided, and confirm the active status in the dashboard. Once validated, Pro features are ready to use.
