License activation

Overview

Your Wovie license brings the updates of the theme to your WordPress admin. You activate it in Dbmovies › Updates, the license and update center that Dbmovies manages for every Doothemes product on your site. Wovie never connects to the Doothemes server on its own: Dbmovies does it for the theme.

What the license gives you

While your Wovie license is active:

• Theme updates arrive in your WordPress admin, for the time your plan includes.
• Its daily requests are added to those of your Dbmovies license for IMDb data: when one license reaches its daily limit, the next one takes over. See Sharing requests across licenses.
• You can open support tickets from your Doothemes account.

If your license expires or is removed, Wovie keeps working exactly the same: nothing on your site is locked. Only the updates stop until you activate a license again.

Where to find your license key

You receive your license key by email after your purchase. You can also see all your licenses at any time in Licenses in your Doothemes account.

How to activate your license

1. Make sure Wovie is your active theme. The Wovie row only appears while Wovie, or a child theme of Wovie, is active.
2. In your WordPress admin, go to Dbmovies › Updates.
3. Click the Wovie row, or Activate on that row. The License management panel opens.
4. Paste your Wovie key in License key.
5. Click Activate.

When the activation works, the panel shows a confirmation and the Wovie row changes to Active, with your key partly hidden.

Use the license of the right product. A Dbmovies license does not activate Wovie, and a Wovie license does not activate Dbmovies: the panel tells you if the key belongs to a different product.

Check your activation

• The Wovie row shows Active in Dbmovies › Updates.
• When a new version of Wovie is out, it appears in Dashboard › Updates and in Appearance › Themes.

Dbmovies checks your licenses with the server every hour, so a renewal or a change of plan shows up on its own. To check it right away, open the Wovie panel and click Check now.

Move, deactivate or remove the license

The Wovie license works like the Dbmovies license. See the Dbmovies documentation:

• Move your license to another site.
• Deactivate or uninstall a license.
• Local sites: localhost and domains that end in .local, .test or .localhost do not use an activation.

Troubleshooting

If the problem continues, open a support ticket with your license key and the exact message you see.
