How to Manage License Key?.

Your CTX Feed Pro license key is the credential that keeps Pro unlocked and updating. This guide shows you where to view your key and its details inside the plugin, where the actual key lives, how many sites one key covers, and how to change or replace a key — everything you need to keep your license healthy across one or several WordPress sites.

This applies to CTX Feed Pro only. The free CTX Feed plugin has no license key.

Where to manage the key

Everything is on one screen: in your WordPress dashboard, open CTX Feed, then go to System → License.

• When Pro is not yet activated, the page shows the Activate CTX Feed Pro card with the License key field — paste your key here and click Activate. (Full walkthrough: Activate license.)
• When Pro is active, the page shows your license details instead of the field.

Reading your license details

Once a license is active, the License page shows a green Active pill and a details grid:

• PRODUCT — the plan (CTX Feed Pro).
• EXPIRES — your renewal date with the days left (shown in amber once 30 days or fewer remain), or Lifetime for one-time plans.
• SITES — how many seats your plan uses out of its total (for example, “2 of 5 used”). On an unlimited plan it shows the number of sites with the note “Unlimited plan”.
• LICENSE KEY — your key, shown masked for security (only part of it is visible).

Below the grid, a License messages card summarises the license status CTX Feed has on record — a “License verified” confirmation, an expiry reminder in the last 30 days, or an “activation limit reached” warning when every seat is in use. Opening the page doesn’t contact the license server; CTX Feed re-checks with the server automatically once a week, and that check is what keeps these details current.

1. Active pill — Pro is unlocked on this site; next to it, the renewal date or Lifetime.
2. Manage license key — opens My Account → License keys on webappick.com.
3. The details grid — PRODUCT, EXPIRES, SITES and the masked LICENSE KEY.
4. Deactivate license — frees this site’s seat.
5. License messages — the current status, such as “License verified”.

If the license can’t be verified: 7 days’ notice

If the weekly check comes back saying your license is not active (for example, the subscription expired or a renewal payment failed), Pro is not switched off straight away:

1. A License could not be verified warning appears at the top of every CTX Feed page, and a matching notice appears across the WordPress dashboard for administrators. It names the date Pro features will be locked (7 days after the first failed check) and quotes the license server’s message. Renew license opens your WebAppick account; the dashboard notice also has a License page button. The warning can’t be dismissed while the problem lasts.
2. For those 7 days, everything keeps working. CTX Feed re-checks once a day, so if you renew, the warning disappears by itself within a day.
3. If you have already renewed, go to CTX Feed → System → License and activate the license again. The warning clears at once.
4. If the license is still not active after 7 days, Pro features lock and the License expired notice with a Renew license button takes over.

Your feeds are not deleted when Pro locks. The Pro settings stay saved and come back as soon as the license is active again.

Where the real key is stored

The plugin only ever displays the key masked — it does not reveal the full key, and there is no “copy key” button on the License page. Your complete key is kept in your WebAppick account:

1. Log in at webappick.com.
2. Open My Account → License keys.
3. Click Copy next to the Master key, or next to the per-product key of your CTX Feed Pro order.

1. Master key — works for every plugin and license you own; Copy puts it on your clipboard.
2. The per-product key for one order, with its own Copy button.
3. Sites used — how many of the plan’s sites are activated.
4. Manage — open the plan’s details.
5. Deactivate — free a seat by removing one activated site.

The Manage license key button on the License page opens My Account → License keys on webappick.com, where the full key and your plan live. Keep the key private — anyone with it could use a seat from your plan.

One key, multiple sites

A single key covers the number of sites in your plan. Each site you activate consumes one seat, and the SITES value on the License page shows how many seats are in use. To run Pro on more sites than your plan allows, either free a seat by deactivating the license on a site you no longer use, or upgrade your plan to add seats.

Change or replace the key on a site

There is no “edit key” field while a license is active — to put a different key on a site, deactivate the current one first:

1. On CTX Feed → System → License, click Deactivate license. The page reloads and the key field returns.
2. Paste the new key into the License key field.
3. Click Activate.

This is the flow to use if you were re-issued a key, or you are switching a site from one plan to another.

Troubleshooting

• The key looks wrong / masked characters differ. That is expected — the plugin shows the key masked. Compare against the full key in your WebAppick account only when re-entering it.
• Details look out of date. The License page shows what the last weekly check found. To refresh now, deactivate and re-activate the license — activating always asks the license server again.
• “License could not be verified” warning. You have 7 days before Pro locks. Renew in your WebAppick account, or if you already renewed, activate the license again on the License page. See the 7 days’ notice section above.
• “Activation limit reached.” All seats are in use. Deactivate an unused site or upgrade your plan.
• Key won’t activate (“No API resources available”). See Cannot activate API key — No API resources available.
