License & activations

Where your key comes from, what it unlocks, how to activate and deactivate it, and how to move a license between sites.

What the license key does

Every purchase from Lemon Squeezy comes with a license key. It covers manual updates and email support. The plugin itself and addon ZIPs install without a key — you never need to be online or licensed just to install a package you already have.

  • Core plugin key: activate it under Settings → License & Updates.
  • Paid addons: each addon has its own key (or one key covers them all if you bought the Everything Bundle). Free addons need no key.
  • Keys are stored encrypted on your server.

Activate your license

  1. Find your key

    It's in your Lemon Squeezy receipt email and on the My Orders page.

  2. Open License & Updates

    In your admin go to Veyo Personalizer → Settings → License & Updates.

  3. Paste and activate

    Paste the key and click Activate. The page shows the license status, how many activation slots you've used, and whether a newer version is available.

Activation slots

One key can be active on two sites at the same time: typically one production store and one staging site. A third site (for example a local copy) needs a slot freed first.

Deactivate / move to another site

  1. On the old site

    Open Settings → License & Updates and click Deactivate. This frees the slot on the license server.

  2. On the new site

    Install Veyo and paste the same key under License & Updates.

Can't reach the old site any more (server gone, domain expired)? Email support@veyodesigner.com with your order number and we'll free the slot for you.

Uninstalling Veyo with Keep data when uninstalling turned off releases this site's activations automatically. With the switch on, the license stays activated. See Uninstalling & your data.

Official vs Custom addon builds

Official addon ZIPs are cryptographically signed. If your server has the PHP Sodium extension, Veyo verifies the signature and marks the addon Official. A ZIP that is edited, built from source or unsigned still installs but is marked Custom build: it works, and it simply gets no official update prompts. Restore official ZIP swaps it back.
