Activate your license and get updates
What it is
Activating a license unlocks Premium — full-site 1-Click SEO, unlimited Bulk, category and tag optimization, Extended SEO & Rotation, GEO LLMS.txt and more — until the license expires. The license also gates plugin updates: with a valid license, AISA updates itself from GitHub Releases, just like a normal WordPress plugin update. Without a license, AISA keeps running as Free with limits (premium features can be tried on 25% of content).
Where to find it
AI SEO & GEO → License to paste and activate a key; it's also step 5 of the setup wizard. Updates appear in the usual WordPress Plugins / Updates screen once a license is active.
Requirements & tier
You need a license key (format AISA1.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx), purchased through LemonSqueezy. Keys are tier-aware (Premium/PRO or Cloud) and domain-bound, with an expiry. A Cloud key also switches usage counting to credits. The auto-updater pulls from GitHub Releases; it is the delivery (premium) package — the WordPress.org Free build has no updater.
How to use
- Buy a license; you receive a key in the format
AISA1.xxxx.xxxx. - Go to AI SEO & GEO → License, paste the key, and click Activate license.
- The page shows status, expiry, days remaining and the domains the key is valid for.
- Once active, Premium features unlock and plugin updates flow in through the normal WordPress update screen.
- Renew before expiry to keep Premium and updates; if it lapses, the plugin reverts to Free (limits apply).
Questions people ask
- What does a license unlock? Premium — full-site One-Click, unlimited Bulk, categories/tags, Rotation, GEO LLMS.txt, and updates — until expiry.
- How do I get updates? With a valid license, AISA auto-updates from GitHub Releases and shows the update in the standard WordPress Plugins screen.
- What happens when the license expires? The plugin keeps working as Free with limits; you can re-activate by renewing.
- Is the key tied to my domain? Yes — keys are domain-bound and the License page lists the domains a key covers; tiers allow 1 to 30 domains.
- Can I activate a trial key? Yes — time-limited trial keys activate the same way; the page shows the remaining days.
- Why doesn't the Free (WordPress.org) build auto-update from GitHub? The .org build ships without the updater; updates there come from WordPress.org itself.
Troubleshooting
Key won't activate / “invalid” → confirm the full AISA1.xxxx.xxxx key isn't truncated and that the domain matches the key's allowed domains; the License page shows the secret Signature for diagnosis.
Premium features still locked after activating → reload; verify status shows active and not expired.
No update offered → ensure the license is valid (updater is gated by it) and that you're on the delivery build, not the .org Free build.
Need to move to a new domain → check your tier's domain count and the domains listed on the License page.
