Switching your license

There may be cases where you need to associate your website(s) with another WP Rocket license. For example, if you've created your own WP Rocket account after finishing a relationship with your developer, designer, or an agency.

Below you can find the available methods to switch your license without losing the current custom WP Rocket settings. The first method is the recommended option.

Using a helper plugin

Use this method when you have access to the WordPress panel and you want to switch the WP Rocket license of the site, or when you've asked support to reset the API key. This is the preferred method as it's the easiest.

1. Install and activate the WP Rocket - License Manager helper plugin.
2. Go to the Settings > WP Rocket License page.
3. Enter the new API key into the New API key box, as shown here. You can find your API key by following this guide.
4. Enter the email into the Account email box, as per this image. Note: The plugin detects the current email in use; changing this email is only required if you want to change both email and API key.
5. Click on the Validate and change license button.
6. Once the update is complete, deactivate and delete the WP Rocket - License Manager helper plugin.

Manual procedure

Use this manual procedure only when you can't use the helper in the above method.

To switch the license on your site, please follow these steps: 

1. Go to Settings > WP Rocket > Tools
2. Export your current WP Rocket settings
3. Download your new WP Rocket ZIP file from your WP Rocket Account Page
4. Deactivate and delete WP Rocket from your site
5. Install and activate the new WP Rocket ZIP file
6. Import your settings on the Tools tab

Make sure your site is already using WP Rocket version 3.x to use the Export/Import settings. Older versions used a different export file format, which is incompatible with the newer versions.

After following these steps, your website will be preserving the same settings, will be linked to your new WP Rocket license, and it should appear under your WP Rocket Account page in the Sites section.
