Licence and updates

Kudos Donations Plus needs a licence key. The licence activates the add-on on your website, and lets WordPress download updates for it.

Activating your licence​

  1. Make sure Kudos Donations is installed, activated and up to date.
  2. Go to Donations → Settings → Plus.
  3. Enter your licence key under Licence key and click Activate.

Once the licence is accepted, the panel shows its status: Valid, expires on followed by the expiry date, or Valid, does not expire. The settings page header also shows Plus licence active.

Installing the add-on​

After activating your licence, an Add-on panel appears on the same tab:

  1. Click Install add-on. Kudos Donations downloads Kudos Donations Plus, installs it and activates it.
  2. Click Reload to apply changes to load the new features.

If you uploaded and activated the Kudos Donations Plus zip file yourself, the panel shows Add-on installed and there is nothing more to do.

Updates​

Updates for Kudos Donations Plus appear under Dashboard → Updates and on the Plugins page, like those of any other plugin. Click View details to see what changed. An active licence is needed to download updates.

Licences and websites​

A licence is activated for your website's address. Whether visitors use www. or not makes no difference.

To move Kudos Donations Plus to another website, click Reset licence on the old website first. This removes the licence from that website, so you can activate it on the new one.

When a licence expires​

When a licence expires, the Plus features stop working and the Plus settings show Licence inactive. Your donations, campaigns and settings are kept, and everything works again as soon as the licence is renewed.
