Progress Map Ultimate uses Freemius for licensing, updates, and account management. Your purchase on progress-map.com includes a license key (and/or an account email flow) that unlocks updates and support.
Why activation matters
- Receive plugin updates inside WordPress
- Stay on a supported build
- Confirm your purchase for support
Without a valid license, the plugin may still run for development, but you will not get a reliable update channel.
Typical activation flow
Exact screens can vary slightly with Freemius version, but the flow is:
- After activating the plugin, Freemius shows an opt-in / license screen in wp-admin (or under the Progress Map / Ultimate menu).
- Sign in with the email used at purchase, or paste your license key from your progress-map.com / Freemius account email.
- Confirm activation for this site.
- When successful, the admin shows the product as licensed (and updates become available when published).
If you skipped the prompt
Open the Progress Map Ultimate admin screens and look for Account, License, or the Freemius notice bar at the top of wp-admin. You can activate at any time.
Sites and license limits
Your plan defines how many sites the license covers (for example a Founder / multi-site allowance). Activate only the sites included in your plan. To move a license to another domain, deactivate it on the old site from the Freemius account UI, then activate on the new one.
Troubleshooting activation
| Issue | What to try |
|---|---|
| No license prompt | Confirm Ultimate is the active plugin; check for a blocked admin notice; open Freemius account link from the plugin menu |
| “License already used” | Deactivate on the previous site or upgrade plan / free a slot in your Freemius account |
| Email not recognized | Use the same email as the purchase on progress-map.com; check spam for the Freemius welcome mail |
| Staging / localhost | Freemius often allows local/staging activations — if blocked, activate production first or contact support with both URLs |
Privacy opt-in
Freemius may ask to share non-sensitive diagnostic data. You can usually skip or adjust this; it is separate from entering a valid license key.
