Activation itself takes place in your own WordPress dashboard, not on this help website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"activate-pro\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Activate Pro on your store<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep Swift Commerce Free installed and active, then install and activate the Pro ZIP. Open the Swift Commerce dashboard and choose <strong>Activate License<\/strong> in its sidebar. If the license is already active, the link is labelled <strong>License<\/strong>. Follow the license screen and check that the intended site is activated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the full walkthrough, including where to find the license key and how to manage site activations, see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swiftcommerce.io\/help\/getting-started\/activating-your-license\/\">Activating Your License<\/a>. If Pro is not installed yet, follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swiftcommerce.io\/help\/getting-started\/installing-swift-commerce-pro\/\">Installing Swift Commerce Pro<\/a> first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"activation-troubleshooting\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">If activation does not complete<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check that you are using the license for the correct purchase and have an available site activation. Copy the key without surrounding spaces. If the license screen reports a connection error, keep the error message and contact support; do not post your license key in a public ticket or screenshot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This page is a quick starting point for account holders. The detailed activation guide is the maintained reference; there is no need to activate the same store twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" data-swift-commerce-documentation-schema=\"1\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"TechArticle\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.swiftcommerce.io\/help\/how-to-use-my-account\/pro-license-activation\/#article\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.swiftcommerce.io\/help\/how-to-use-my-account\/pro-license-activation\/\",\"headline\":\"Pro License Activation\",\"description\":\"Activate Swift Commerce Pro from the plugin License screen.
