# Mapster Pro

Mapster Pro is the premium version of the plugin, managed through **Freemius** — a licensing and payment platform built for WordPress plugins. This page covers how to get Pro, what the license allows, and how to get help if something goes wrong.

## Purchasing Pro

Purchase a license at <https://wpmaps.mapster.me/>. During checkout, Freemius will create an account for you using your billing email. After payment, you'll receive a license key by email.

## Activating Your License

1. In your WordPress admin, go to **Maps → Settings**.
2. Click **Account Management** in the top right.
3. In the **Account** section, scroll down to find the license key field and enter the key you received.
4. Click **Activate** — the plugin will verify the key with Freemius and unlock Pro features.

If the key isn't connecting, try clicking **Sync** in the same Account panel. This forces the plugin to re-check your license status with Freemius.

## License Restrictions

Each Pro license covers **one active site** by default. You can use it on one production domain at a time.

**Localhost is always included** — any installation running on `localhost` or a local development environment is covered automatically and does not count against your license.

If you need to run the plugin on **additional non-localhost development or staging sites** (e.g. a staging subdomain), you can request extra activations. Just reach out via the [support form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScN5BgC-kiOPofI_4a1CgbvF27tNRpWrdgm6vNGEEha4iRPmQ/viewform?usp=sf_link) and we'll sort it out.

## Managing Your Account

The Freemius **Account Management** panel (Maps → Settings → Account Management) gives you access to:

* **Account** — update your name and email; manually enter or re-enter your license key; sync your license status.
* **Billing** — update billing details for invoices.
* **Payments** — view past payments.

## Trouble Activating or Getting Help

If you're having trouble with activation, or if Freemius emails are being blocked by your mail provider, use the support form below — we can activate your license manually and help resolve any issues.
