Troubleshoot ErrorsHow LemonX licensing works
LemonX uses a license-based system to unlock products, premium features, cloud services, updates, and account-based functionality. Depending on your plan, your license may include access to one product, multiple products, or the full LemonX Suite.
One license, connected to your account
Your license is connected to your LemonX account. You can manage activations, downloads, renewals, billing information, connected websites, and available products from your account dashboard.
Product access depends on your plan
Your license may include access to LemonX AEO, LemonX Code, LemonX Verto, LemonX MCP, LemonX Pro, LemonX Theme, or the full LemonX Suite. If a feature is not available, your current plan may not include it.
Each website counts as an activation
When you activate LemonX on a WordPress site, that website may count toward your license site limit. Development, staging, or temporary domains may be handled differently depending on your plan.
Pro features require a valid license
Some advanced features, cloud gateway functions, premium updates, AI workflows, multi-site controls, and agency tools require an active license.

Common license statuses explained
Active
Your license is valid and connected. You can use the products and features included in your plan.
Inactive
The license has not been activated on this website yet. Connect your account or enter your license key.
Expired
Your license period has ended. Renew your license to continue receiving premium features, updates, and support.
Invalid
The license key could not be verified. Check for typos, make sure the key belongs to your account, and confirm that the license is still valid.
Domain Limit Reached
Your license has already been activated on the maximum number of allowed websites. Remove an unused site or upgrade your plan.
Product Not Included
Your license is active, but your plan does not include the product or feature you are trying to use.
Connection Failed
LemonX could not reach the license server. This may be caused by firewall settings, hosting restrictions, SSL issues, DNS problems, or temporary network errors.
Managing connected websites
Your license may include a specific number of website activations. You can view and manage connected websites from your LemonX account.
What you can manage
- Connected domains
- Active websites
- Unused activations
- Staging sites
- Old domains
- Development sites
- Client websites
- Agency sites
How to remove an old website
- Log in to your LemonX account.
- Open License Dashboard.
- Find the license you want to manage.
- Open Connected Sites.
- Remove the website you no longer use.
- Return to WordPress and refresh your license status.
When to remove a website
Remove a site when:
- You changed your domain.
- You migrated to a new website.
- You no longer manage a client website.
- You activated LemonX on a temporary test site.
- You reached your site activation limit.
- You want to move the license to another WordPress installation.
Changing domains or moving your license
If you move your WordPress website to a new domain, your license may need to be reconnected.
You changed from a temporary domain to a live domain
temporary-site.hosting.com → example.com
Remove the temporary domain from your LemonX account, then activate the license again on the live domain.
You migrated your website to a new server
If the domain stays the same, your license may continue working. If the site URL changes, refresh your license status inside WordPress.
You changed from HTTP to HTTPS
If your license status changes after enabling SSL, refresh the license connection.
You changed from www to non-www
www.example.com → example.com
If your site URL changes, you may need to reconnect the license.
Staging and development websites
Many WordPress users test LemonX on staging, local, or development environments before going live.
Examples of development environments
Recommended workflow
- Install and test LemonX on your staging site.
- Confirm your settings and modules.
- Move your site to the live domain.
- Remove the staging activation if needed.
- Activate LemonX on the live website.
- Refresh license status after launch.
Development and staging domain behavior may depend on your license plan. Check your account dashboard or contact support if you are unsure whether your staging site counts toward your activation limit.

Make sure the WordPress site is connected to the same LemonX account that owns the license.

5. Your plugin version may be outdated
Update LemonX products to the latest available version.
