# Managing your license

Learn to manage your license

{% hint style="info" %}
Don't have a license yet? → [View pricing & plans](https://acpt.io/pricing/)
{% endhint %}

You can manage everything related to that license in the [user dashboard](https://acpt.io/acpt-dashboard/).

In this section, we will learn how to activate and deactivate a license.

### Activate your license

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you're using a **version <= 2.0.30**, you need to activate your license before using ACPT on your website
{% endhint %}

To access all features, receive updates, and receive technical assistance, you need to **activate your license**. From the main ACPT menu, navigate to the License page:

#### OPTION 1

Click on the **Activate your license now** button.

You will be redirected to the main ACPT website.

Paste here your license:

If everything is correct, you'll be redirected back to your website.

#### OPTION 2

Inside your wp-config.php file, add those two lines:

```php
define('ACPT_LICENSE_KEY', 'xxxxxxxx');
```

Replace xxxxxxxx with the correct value and refresh this page, and the plugin will automatically activate.

Congratulations, you have successfully activated your license!

### Disconnect a license

You can disconnect a license in two different ways.

#### From your website

On your website, go to the ACPT License page:

<figure><img src="https://3235524095-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fiyf0tSKPgXiyoQ3zV3I6%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-1b9ca17a1bb23965aa938b2d9d9171372ae12ee3%2FManage-your-license-%E2%80%B9-Localhost-%E2%80%94-WordPress.png?alt=media" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Click on the red button **Deactivate**.

This action will also disconnect the license on the ACPT server.

#### From the user dashboard

On the user dashboard, locate the **Activations** tab.

<figure><img src="https://3235524095-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fiyf0tSKPgXiyoQ3zV3I6%2Fuploads%2F2Cr3MoGX3uODK5ZTgPLe%2FLicense-activations-ACPT-user-s-dashboard%20(1).png?alt=media&amp;token=b4d98782-340e-4eb5-a8c5-97704c6d80d3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Click on the red link **Deactivate**.

You will see a notice regarding the outcome of the operation.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you see this message: **Your license was successfully disconnected. Now you need to deactivate the license on your website.** This indicates that the license has not been deactivated on your website, and you will need to manually deactivate it there.
