This help explains where to find your WPResidence license code, how to register it, and how to deactivate it so you can move the theme to another domain. It covers both ways of buying WPResidence: directly on wpresidence.net and on ThemeForest.
How to get your license code
Where you find your license code depends on where you bought WPResidence.
If you bought on wpresidence.net
- Log in to care.wpestate.org with the account you used at checkout.
- Open My Licenses in the left menu.
- Copy the license code shown under your WP Residence license.
The same page also shows:
- Support until – the date your support and updates run to.
- Whether the license is currently activated on a site, and on which domain.
- The theme downloads: Download theme (wpresidence.zip only) and Download WP Residence package (full package with child theme and documentation).
If you bought on ThemeForest
- Log in to ThemeForest with your buyer account:
https://themeforest.net/ - Go to the Downloads page:
https://themeforest.net/downloads
- Find your WPResidence purchase and select
License Certificate and Purchase Code
- Open the downloaded text file and copy the buyer code (purchase code).
How to register your license code
Step 1: Install the theme and the WPResidence Core Functionality plugin. How to install the theme and the required plugins
Step 2: Activate WPResidence Core Functionality
Step 3: Refresh the WordPress admin page. While the theme is not registered yet, the license panel appears automatically at the top of your admin pages, including the Dashboard. You do not need to look for a separate menu.
Step 4: Choose where you bought the theme and register. Select the option that matches your purchase. The form changes to ask for the right details.
Step 5: Tick the consent checkbox, then click Register License. If it works you will see You have successfully registered.
| Option | What to fill in |
|---|---|
| Purchased on ThemeForest | Your ThemeForest Username and your Purchase Code |
| Purchased on wpresidence.net | Your License Key only – the username field disappears |
How updates work after registration
- wpresidence.net licenses – theme updates appear automatically in Dashboard → Updates and under Appearance → Themes. The Envato Market plugin is not needed.
- ThemeForest licenses – theme updates are delivered through the Envato Market plugin included with the theme. How to update WPResidence and included plugins
License code is already registered for another domain
If you try to register the same license on a second domain, you will see this message:
License code is already registered for other domain.
Why this happens
The license is already active on another website. This applies to both ThemeForest and wpresidence.net licenses, because a license works on one domain at a time. Common situations include:
- The license was used on a staging/test domain
- The site was reinstalled without deactivating first
- A developer activated the license on a different domain
- The original website is no longer accessible
How to deactivate your license
- Log in to the WordPress admin of the domain where the license is currently active.
- Go to Site Settings → WpResidence License in the left menu.
- Open the WpResidence License tab.
- Click Deactivate License.
- You will see the message Your license has been successfully revoked.
Demo import
After license registration, you can import demo content: https://help.wpresidence.net/article/demo-content-1-click-import-starting-1-15-update/

Invoices, Subscription and Cancelling the Renewal
If you bought directly on wpresidence.net, the payment was processed by Lemon Squeezy. Your orders, invoices, and subscription are managed there, separately from your license and downloads.
Which site do I need?
- care.wpestate.org – your license code, theme downloads, domain activation, and support tickets.
- Lemon Squeezy My Orders – invoices and your renewal subscription.
How to log in
- Go to app.lemonsqueezy.com/my-orders.
- Enter the email address you used at checkout.
- You will receive a sign-in link by email. Open it to access your orders.
What you can do there
Open your WPResidence order to see the order summary, your subscription, and your license. At the bottom of the order you have two buttons:
- Generate Invoice – produces the invoice for that order. Use this if you need an invoice for your accounting, or need to add company details and a VAT number.
- Manage Subscription – update your payment method, or cancel the renewal.
How to cancel the recurring payment
A wpresidence.net license is billed once a year. To stop the renewal fee:
- Go to app.lemonsqueezy.com/my-orders and sign in with the same email address you used to buy the theme.
- Open your WPResidence order.
- Scroll to the bottom of the order and click Manage Subscription.
- Cancel the subscription there.
The same screen shows your subscription status and a Generate Invoice button if you need an invoice for your accounting.
What happens after you cancel:
- You are not charged again.
- Your website keeps working. The license itself does not expire, so the theme continues to run on your domain.
- When the paid period ends, you stop receiving theme updates, and support ends as well.
Register in client support
Support for WPResidence is handled in one place, whichever way you bought the theme:
Use your license code to register your support account. ThemeForest buyers should also have their Envato buyer username at hand.
Open a ticket on care.wpestate.org and include your license code. Our team can verify where the license is registered and guide you through the next step.
WPResidence license type and domain rule
A WPResidence license works on one domain at a time. This is the same for ThemeForest purchases and for wpresidence.net purchases. To move the theme to another domain, deactivate the license first, then register it on the new domain.
With your license you can:
- Build a commercial real estate website (agency site, listings site, subscription-based site, booking site, and similar).
- Charge users for listings, memberships, subscriptions, bookings, or services.
What is not allowed:
- Using the same license on multiple active domains at the same time
- Reselling, redistributing, or bundling the theme itself
- Offering the theme as a downloadable product or website builder
About Extended Licenses
On ThemeForest, WPResidence is sold under a Regular License only. An Extended License is NOT offered for WPResidence.
If you see references online to Extended Licenses, please note that:
- WPResidence does not provide an Extended License option
- There is no way to upgrade a WPResidence license to Extended
- All WPResidence features work fully with the Regular License
If your license shows as already registered, this is not related to license type. It simply means the license is already active on another domain and must be deactivated first.
