Automatic Updates

To enable automatic updates you will need your purchase license key first. How to get my license key?

Automatic updates are supported purchase key per site basis - meaning that one purchase key can be activated only on one site at the same time. If you have a development/staging/live environment setup, check the activation information for development and staging environments to understand how it works.

License activation is not required for the plugin to work - it does not limit the plugin functionality in any way. It is only used for the automatic updates script for verification.

Activating for current site

Open up the Help & Updates sub-menu under the Ajax Search Pro plugin menu.

Enter your purchase code to the Purchase code field and hit the Activate for this sitebutton.

Where can I find my purchase code? Read here.

The page should re-fresh with a notification message, that the activation was successful.

Trigger automatic update

Updating via the plugin manager

In WordPress the plugin updates have to be triggered every time. Whenever an update is available, the plugin manager will notify you. Then you can simply update the plugin by clicking on the 'update now' link:

Updating via the update panel

If the above method does not work, then you can still try updating via the Dashboard -> Updates menu.

  • Click on the Dashboard -> Updates menu

  • Scroll down to the Plugins list. If you don't see "Ajax Search Pro" there, try refreshing the page a few times.

  • Tick the checkbox by Ajax Search Pro

  • Hit the Update Plugins button

Deactivating on current site

To use the purchase key on a different site of yours, you need to deactivate it first.

Please note that there is a 30 minute wait time before you can re-activate the key on your other site (to prevent malicious usage).

To deactivate the purchase key on the current site, simply hit the Deactivate button.

Deactivating from another site

If your previously activated site or installation does not exist anymore, you can still de-activate the license for that site.

Please note that there is a 30 minute wait time before you can re-activate the key on your other site (to prevent malicious usage).

To do that, simply fill in the de-activation form, with the Site URL, where the plugin updates were previously activated, and the Purchase code:
