Seat management¶
Each license tier covers a fixed number of distinct WordPress sites. Use seat management to move between sites cleanly.
Tier seat counts¶
- Free: 1 site
- Business: 3 sites
- Enterprise: unlimited sites
"Site" means a distinct WordPress installation identified by its site_url() host. example.com and www.example.com are treated as the same site only if your site_url() is normalized.
Activating on a new site¶
Just install and activate the plugin on the new site, then paste the same license key and activation code. The licensing server registers the new site against your seat pool. If you exceed your seat count, you will see ERR-004 (Domain mismatch) and need to free a seat first.
Freeing a seat¶
- Visit /account/licenses and find the license.
- Under Sites used, click Deactivate next to the site you want to remove.
- The seat is immediately available for activation on a different site.
What happens to the deactivated site¶
The plugin keeps the offline cache through the next daily revalidation. On the next cron run (or manually via Image Rotation → License → Re-validate), the plugin notices its seat was released and reverts to Free tier behavior — your image URLs continue to work but tier-gated features (extra schedules, custom branding) lock.
Upgrading tier mid-cycle¶
Subscribe to the new tier in the customer portal. The old license token continues to validate normally; the next daily cron picks up the new entitlements automatically without you needing to re-paste the license.
