Updates to the plugin usually include security fixes, new features, bugfixes, WordPress compatibility fixes and other changes. Therefore, it is very important to work with the latest available plugin version. To keep it fully up-to-date and receive the latest updates, Post Views Counter Pro license must be activated on each website.
Finding the license key
The license key is generated for your subscriptions immediately after purchase. You can obtain it in two ways:
- In your purchase confirmation email
- In your Account at postviewscounter.com
In the first case, you should be able to access the email through your email client.
In the second case, just log in to your account here. Then go to Purchase History – here you will find a list of your transactions and the View Licenses link. When you click it, you will see the details of your version of the plugin containing, among other things, the Key icon. Once clicked it will display the license key.
Activating the license
Activation of the license is done through the License Key option located on the Other page in the Post Views Counter. This option is completely inactive if the Pro version is not installed and activated on the site. Only after Pro is enabled it’s possible to enter the license key.
Paste the copied Post Views Counter Pro license key into the License field and then click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.
If the key was activated correctly you will see a green checkmark next to the input field. If there was an error you should receive information about the type of error in a notification. And if you want to deactivate the license for the current site just clear the license field and Save Changes or just Reset to defaults button.
