Common questions

Is this a one-time purchase or a subscription?

Every product in this store is a one-time software licence: you pay once per product, and there is no subscription for the software and no forced renewal. Optional managed hosting is a separate, prepaid service. Some products check their licence key with our licence service; the Privacy Policy explains what is sent. The licence terms are in our Terms of Service.

Can I use one purchase on more than one site or business?

Each purchase is a single-installation licence for one business. If you're running the software for more than one business or site, you'll need a licence for each. Full terms are on our Terms of Service page.

Can I resell, redistribute or modify the source code?

You can modify the source code for your own use — that's the point of including it. What you can't do is resell, redistribute, sublicense or publicly publish it, in whole or in part. See the Terms of Service for the full licence.

How do I get my download and licence key after I pay?

As soon as your payment is confirmed, your download link and any licence key appear on your order page and are emailed to you. Keep that email — it's your ongoing access to your downloads and keys. If you created an account, everything is also under My account.
