License
The articles in this section explain what Beaver Builder licenses are, why you need one, how they work, and how to obtain one. They also detail the different types of Beaver Builder licenses, what each one offers, and how to manage and use your license keys effectively.
What is a License?
Licenses are used to activate premium versions of Beaver Builder products on your website by connecting them to our update server. Activating your license on a site enables automatic updates and support for that domain.
License Key
After purchasing a Beaver Builder license, you will receive a unique license key that can be found in your account page on the Beaver Builder website.
We recommend not sharing your license key with others. This may lead to unauthorized use of your license and may require the creation of a new license key. Please note that issuing a new license key is not an automated process, may take time, and will only be performed a limited number of times.
When a license key is regenerated, the previous key becomes invalid. It is necessary to update the new key on all sites where the original key was previously utilized.
License Length
All Beaver Builder licenses work on an annual subscription basis. After the first year, you can renew your license to continue receiving updates and support. Your existing installations will continue to work even if you don't renew, but you won't receive new features or support.
Lifetime licenses are not available for purchase. In order to continue receiving updates and support, you must renew your license annually. If you choose not to renew, you can still use the software, but you will not receive updates or support.
See our License Renewal article for more information on how to renew your license.
Benefits of a License?
While there is a free version of Beaver Builder available, a premium license offers several benefits:
- Access to advanced features and modules.
- Premium templates and pre-built layouts.
- Access to dedicated support from the Beaver Builder team.
- Regular updates and improvements.
- Use on multiple websites (depending on the license tier).
