# How to Activate and Manage a Lumo Forms Pro License

## Overview

A Lumo Forms Pro license is intended to unlock eligible premium functionality and determine how many websites can use a purchased plan.

License activation and management depend on the released Pro version, its license service, and the plan purchased. Follow the instructions included with your actual release.

## Before You Begin

Make sure you have:

- The Lumo Forms Free plugin installed and active, if required by your Pro release.
- The correct Lumo Forms Pro package.
- A valid license key.
- Access to the website where you intend to activate the license.
- A working internet connection for license validation, where required.

Only download plugin packages from the official Lumo Forms website or another authorized source.

## Step 1: Install the Pro Plugin

Follow the installation instructions supplied with your purchased Pro package.

If Pro is distributed as a ZIP file, upload it through the WordPress plugin installer unless the official instructions specify another supported method.

Do not remove the Free plugin if Pro requires it as a dependency.

## Step 2: Locate License Settings

Open the license settings provided by your installed Pro version.

Enter the license key exactly as supplied and follow the available activation instructions.

The precise menu location and activation workflow may change between releases, so use the interface included with your installed version.

## Step 3: Understand Site Limits

Your plan determines the number of sites that may be activated.

For example, the planned Lumo Forms license tiers include:

- Single Site: one website
- Agency: up to five websites
- Unlimited: no fixed numeric site limit under the plan

Check your purchase confirmation and current license terms to verify your actual entitlement.

A development or staging domain may count as an activation depending on the license service's domain rules. Check the official policy before activating additional environments.

## Step 4: Manage Activated Domains

If the license service provides a site-management dashboard, use it to review the domains associated with your license.

Before moving a license to a new domain, deactivate the old domain through the supported workflow if required.

A successful deactivation should free the activation slot when the license system supports that behavior. Confirm the resulting site count before activating the new domain.

## Step 5: Troubleshoot Activation Problems

**Invalid license key:** Check for typing errors and confirm that the key belongs to the correct product.

**Site limit reached:** Review existing activations and deactivate an unused domain if permitted by your plan.

**License server unavailable:** Verify your website's outbound connectivity and check the official service status or support information.

**Pro features remain locked:** Confirm that the Pro plugin is installed, activated, compatible with the Free plugin version, and able to validate the license.

## Updates and Support

Follow the update instructions provided with your released Pro version. Do not assume automatic updates are available unless your installed version and license entitlement support them.

When contacting support, provide your plugin versions, plan type, the error message, and the affected site's domain. Never send your full license key in a public forum.

## Important Note

This article describes the intended license-management workflow. Update the instructions to match the actual Lumo Forms Pro release before publishing, particularly if the license activation interface, site limits, or automatic update functionality changes.
