Fix a problem
Practical checks to get things working again.
A few things you
might be wondering.
From licenses to renewals, here are answers to the questions that often come up.
Ask through your accountDo I need the free plugin to use Pro?
Yes. Keep Online Active Users Free installed and active, then install the Pro add-on and activate a valid license.
How many websites does one plan cover?
Each plan covers one website. Deactivate the previous website activation before transferring its key to another website.
Will Razorpay or PayPal charge me automatically?
Only with a compatible automatic-renewal integration and an authorized recurring-payment agreement. A subscription marked Via Manual Renewal needs a payment from you.
Why does my online count change after a delay?
Presence is based on recently recorded activity. Browser behavior, the activity window and caching can affect how quickly a change appears.
Can I change a subscription from the plan chooser?
A new purchase does not automatically prorate, switch or cancel an existing subscription. Contact support to arrange a change to an existing plan.
What should I send when asking for help?
Send your order number, website URL, plugin versions, reproduction steps and the exact error. Hide license keys, passwords, payment details and personal data.
