Activation (license)

Preparations

Make sure the Pro version is installed before proceeding. The easiest way to verify which version you are using if you open the Info Popup on your Dashboard, which writes your currently installed Smart Slider 3 version and whether the free or pro version was installed. If you have the free version installed, update it to the Pro version.

Common issues

1

I can't see the Activation box

This problem can happen for two very common reason.

You have the free version installed. Check the version number of your Smart Slider 3 at the Info Popup on the Dashboard. You'll see the exact version number and whether it's the pro or free version.

Solution: Replace your free version with the Pro one like this
You have an old Smart Slider 3 Pro version, which was not activated yet.
Solution: do an alternative update.

I can't see any packages after logging in at the pop-up window

You probably logged in with another account from what you used for your purchase. Please check your other email addresses to figure out which one is connected to your order! If you are sure you logged in the correct account please get in touch with us by clicking the Contact us link appearing in the pop-up window as you see here:

Account has no order

3

I can't see an activate button at my account

It is happening, because you purchased a package with limited domain usage, and they were used up.

Solutions:

If you want to use the license on a different domain, you can deactivate your current domain.
If you need Smart Slider 3 Pro on all domains, purchase a new package.

I don't own a Smart Slider 3 Pro package or it's expired

If you haven't purchased, or your package has expired, you can get a new one with a new purchase.

Where is my license key? (older versions)

We have changed our licensing process a while ago and it won't require license keys anymore, that is why they were removed from our website. If you have an older version where you haven't added a key yet, you should follow the alternative updating:

If you have a new version, just follow the activation process.
