After purchasing Smash extensions or bundles, follow this guide to activate your license and unlock Pro features.

Before You Begin

Make sure you have:

  • Smash License Manager extension installed

Step 1: Install the License Manager

  3. Click Upload and select the file
  4. Go to Extensions > Extensions > Modules
  5. Find "Smash License Manager" and click Install

Step 2: Open License Manager

  1. Click Edit on "Smash License Manager"
  2. You'll see the License tab with activation form

Step 3: Enter License Details

  1. License Key: Enter your full license key
    • Example: SMASH-BUNDLE-COMPLETE-A1B2C3D4
    • Find this in your purchase confirmation email
  2. Email Address: Enter the email used for purchase
    • Must match exactly what was used during checkout

Step 4: Activate

  1. Click the green "Activate License" button

Step 5: Verify Activation

After activation, the page will show:

Troubleshooting

"License key is invalid"

  • Check for typos in the license key
  • Ensure you're copying the complete key including dashes
  • Verify the email matches your purchase

"License already activated"

  • Each license is valid for one domain
  • Deactivate from the old site first, then activate on new site
  • Contact support if you need to transfer

"Connection error"

  • Check your server can make outbound HTTPS connections
  • Verify firewall isn't blocking api.smashnbuy.com
  • Try again in a few minutes

After Activation

Pro features are automatically unlocked in all licensed extensions. You don't need to do anything else - just use the extensions!
