Hi there! I was wondering if anyone knows how to remove a license from a domain. I’ve purchased the same theme several times over the past few years and have been using it on three different domains, but one of the domains no longer exists and now I want to use the theme on a new domain, but I can’t because the license code is still connected to that old domain Any idea how I fix this?
According to the Envato terms, one license is for one end-product ( domain )
When the domain or the project is out of use, it’s forbidden to use the same license for another project and you need to purchase a new copy if you’re going to use the same item on a new project.
It also shows a good behavior/respect if you purchase a new license for the “new” project as your support to the author/item.
But some authors are OK to change the license for the domain ( E.g domainXYZ.com to domainXYZ.net ), you could contact them but bear in mind that they don’t have to agree with the changes especially you’ve been using the theme for a year at least
Actually, the way I understood is that having multiple licenses means you are allowed to use it in that amount of websites at the same time. You buy a lifetime license, if you have used it for one year on one website and create a new one and don’t use the old one anymore, in my opinion you should be allowed to use the theme again. Hopefully someone is willing to help me with this
There’s no multiple license option, it’s either standard or extended.
You’re approaching the situation as buyer, if you were seller, believe me you wouldn’t like the idea of re-using the license over and over again but what draws the line here is the Envato terms that the license is not transferable
No, You buy one license with lifetime updates. It’s different.
Thank you, I guess I just didn’t know and assumed it would be a lifetime license.
in my experience it doesn’t exactly need to be one particular domain, sometimes you need to move a website across domains and hosting providers, there has never been an issue doing that as far as theme licenses are concerned, in my opinion you should be able to restrict the use of a theme on a domain or turn on development modes that allow you to work on the same theme on two live domains simultaneously, using one as the enterprise domain and one as the live replica during the development of newer versions of the website. However, I am looking for a way to suspend my license for a particular theme all together until the client pays the balance, someone is testing my patience.
