If you build and look after sites for other people, your licence covers a set number of them — one on Personal, up to five on Business, up to fifty on Agency. Each separate site you activate on uses one.
These are the things worth knowing before you roll it out across a client base.
One activation per site address
Fifty separate client sites on fifty domains is fifty of your fifty. There is nothing to configure for this; activate the same key on each site as you set it up.
Your licence key is visible to your client
The Licence screen shows the key in full, and anyone who is an administrator of that site can open it. There is a Remove from this site button next to it.
So a client administrator can read your key, and can deactivate it. This is true of any WordPress plugin — an administrator can see what plugins have stored — but it is worth knowing before you put one key across fifty clients.
If that matters for a particular client, consider giving them an Editor account rather than an Administrator one, or keeping their site on its own licence that they pay for.
Before you hand a site over
If a client is taking over their site, or you are parting company, decide what happens to the licence:
- If they are keeping your licence on it, that site stays counted on your plan for as long as it is activated.
- If it should come off your plan, click Remove from this site before you hand over access. Once you no longer have administrator access you cannot do it yourself, and you will need to open a ticket to get the site released.
Doing it before the handover saves a support request and an awkward email.
What each client can see
Each client sees the leads captured on their own site, which is correct — those are their subscribers’ email addresses on their website. Nothing is shared between the sites on your licence, and no data passes through us.
