Verifying Your License


Verifying your license key grants you access to automatic updates and support, finalizing the installation.

This tutorial will guide you through verifying your Duplicator Pro license within your WordPress admin area.

Make sure to install the Duplicator Pro plugin on your site before you begin.

Note: If you are upgrading from Duplicator Lite, deactivate the Lite plugin before installing our paid plugin.

Accessing Your License Key

After installing and activating the plugin, you’ll need to obtain your license key to verify your Duplicator Pro installation.

To access your license key, log in to your Duplicator Pro account. After logging in, click on the Downloads tab to find your License Key.

Click the clipboard icon to copy your license key:

Verifying Your Duplicator Pro License

Once you’ve copied your license key, you need to verify your Duplicator Pro license to access the features and plugin updates included with your license.

Go to Duplicator Pro » Settings » under the General tab and navigate to the License section. Paste the copied License Key and click on the Activate button.

If your license has been successfully activated, you will see the Status and Expiration Date.

Please Note: If the license verification throws an error, please click on the Force a Refresh button. This clears the cache, and a new request is made without waiting. If the error persists, see License Activation Issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below, we’ve addressed some of the most common questions regarding license verification:

Facing trouble with license activation?
We have a complete guide on troubleshooting the License Activation Issues.
How does the licensing work with the Multisite?
One license covers the entire site in WordPress multisite, including all subsites. For example, in a multisite with 100 subsites, only one license is needed. Note that extended multisite support is available with Pro, Elite, or Enterprise license levels.
How many sites can I use my Duplicator Pro license on?
Each of our license levels, from Basic up through Enterprise, has a different site limit. Check our pricing page for the current site limits for each license level. If you’re on a legacy plan such as Personal, Freelancer, Business, or Gold, which are no longer sold, your account screens may look a little different from what’s shown here.

That’s it. Your Duplicator Pro license is verified, so you have full access to plugin updates and support going forward.
