A Terrifico Pro license gives the plugin automatic updates, access to every demo and the template library, and support. The free theme never needs a license.<\/p>\n

Activate your key<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Go to Terrifico \u2192 License<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  2. Paste the key from your order email or from My account \u2192 License keys<\/em> at hillcityweb.com\/themes<\/a>. Keys look like TFPRO-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  3. Click Activate<\/em>. The screen shows your plan, how many sites are in use and when the license renews.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Plans and sites<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Personal<\/strong>: 1 site. Business<\/strong>: 5 sites. Agency<\/strong>: unlimited sites.<\/li>\n
    • Local and staging sites never use an activation: localhost<\/code>, addresses ending in .local<\/code>, .test<\/code> or .localhost<\/code>, addresses starting with staging.<\/code>, stage.<\/code>, dev.<\/code> or test.<\/code>, and the staging domains of WP Engine, Kinsta, Flywheel, Pantheon and Cloudways.<\/li>\n
    • To move a license, click Deactivate<\/em> on the old site first, then activate it on the new one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Updates<\/h2>\n

      With an active license, new versions of Terrifico Pro appear under Dashboard \u2192 Updates<\/em> and on the Plugins screen, like any plugin. The free theme keeps updating from WordPress.org.<\/p>\n

      Without a key, and when a license ends<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Evaluation:<\/strong> for the first 14 days after you install Pro, its features work without a key. Premium demos, the template library and updates need an activated license.<\/li>\n
      • Grace period:<\/strong> if an active license expires or is deactivated, Pro keeps working for 30 more days.<\/li>\n
      • After that:<\/strong> Pro\u2019s features switch off until you activate a valid key. The free theme and your content stay; pages you built with Terrifico Elementor widgets keep displaying them, but the widgets leave the Elementor panel and the header & footer builder, mega menu and other modules stop until you renew.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The license is checked when you activate it, then about once a week in the background. If our server can\u2019t be reached, your site keeps its last known status; a server outage never switches Pro off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
