You can also manage sites from your account dashboard.
How do I move my license to a new site if I can't reach the old one?
If the old site is gone, offline, or you no longer have access, you can't deactivate from its Customizer - so free the activation from your account instead:
- Log into wbcomdesigns.com/my-account
- Go to Licenses (or Downloads) and open your BuddyX Pro key
- Deactivate the old site's URL from the list of managed sites
- On the new site, go to Customize > Theme License, paste the same key, and click Activate License
Still stuck, or the site limit is full with a URL you can't remove? Email support@wbcomdesigns.com with your license key and we'll reset it for you.
