License Mismatch

Modified on Sat, 20 Apr at 1:24 PM

Issue

The following license mismatch error can occur when you try to activate your license:

“Your license key does not match your current domain. This is most likely due to a change in the domain URL of your site (including HTTPS/SSL migration). Please deactivate the license and then reactivate it again.”

Possible cause

This error can occur under the following conditions:

  • Your site and WordPress domains (URL) do not match. This usually occurs after changes to your domain or SSL. 
  • When the domain listed in your My Elementor account does not match the domain you are trying to activate Elementor Pro from. 

Example: In your My Elementor account dashboard, your Elementor Pro plugin is activated for the site mysite.com. You try to activate your Elementor Pro plugin from the dashboard of my-site.com. In this case, you will receive a license mismatch error.

Note
For Elementor Hosting users: If you’re using a version of Elementor and/or Elementor Pro older than 3.9, upgrading both plugins to the current version should resolve any license mismatch errors.

Solution

In most cases, deactivating and reactivating your license solves the issue. Follow the below procedures stepwise to resolve the issue:

Verify WordPress URL and Site URL.

  1. Login to WP Admin.
  2. Go to Settings > General.
