Licensing
Overview
After purchasing a key from our website, you will need to active that key after installing the plugin Nectarblocks.
-
After installation, navigate to the Nectarblocks Admin Panel and go to the
Authorizationtab. -
Next enter you serial key into the box and press the register button. If everything was successful a green arrow will display next to the register button.
The button to access the Custom Code options is found in the Nectarblocks option in the Admin Panel toolbar.
Moving your site to a new domain
Your license activation is tied to the domain it was registered on. When the site's address changes (a real move to a new domain, not a copy), plugin updates and the Template Library keep authenticating against the old domain until the activation is moved along with it.
Nectarblocks detects the change and shows a notice on its admin screens to administrators:
Nectarblocks: this site's domain changed from
old-domain.comtonew-domain.com. Updates and the Template Library stay tied to the old domain until you transfer the license. If this is a copy of another site (staging, a clone), dismiss this instead — transferring would deactivate the original.
Click Transfer license to new-domain.com to move the activation in one step. The page reloads once the transfer succeeds and no further action is needed.
The plugin never transfers a license on its own, because a staging copy or a cloned database looks exactly like a moved site. A transfer always deactivates the original activation. If the notice appears on a copy of your live site, dismiss it instead of transferring. The dismissal is remembered for that specific old/new domain pair, so a later, different move surfaces the notice again.
A license can be transferred at most three times per key in any seven-day period. If you hit that limit, wait and try again later.
Transfer errors
If the transfer does not go through, the notice shows one of these messages and the button stays available so you can retry:
| Message | What it means |
|---|---|
| This site's address could not be used. Check the WordPress Address and Site Address settings, then try again. | The new domain could not be read from your WordPress settings. |
| This license key does not match the activation being transferred. | The stored key and the activation on file disagree — reactivate from the Authorization tab. |
| This site's activation was released from your Nectarblocks account. Reactivate it from the Authorization tab if you still want it here. | The seat was deregistered from the account portal. |
| This license key is no longer active. Please contact support. | The key itself was cancelled or refunded. |
| This license has reached its maximum number of activations. | No free seat is left on the key. |
| This license has reached its maximum number of development activations. | No free development seat is left on the key. |
| This license has been transferred too many times recently. Please try again later. | The three-per-seven-days limit was reached. |
| The license could not be transferred. Please try again later or reactivate it from the Authorization tab. | A temporary failure — retry, or register the key again on the Authorization tab. |
"This site's license is no longer active"
A second notice appears when the activation was released server-side or could not be renewed automatically:
Nectarblocks: This site's license is no longer active. It was released from your account or could not be renewed automatically. Reactivate it to restore updates and the Template Library. Manage license.
This is expected after removing the site from your Nectarblocks account portal, after a refund or key cancellation, or when the site could not renew its access on its own. To reactivate, follow the Manage license link (or open the Authorization tab), enter your serial key and press Register. The notice clears on the next successful registration.
