Pro & license
Pro adds 10 gallery styles, including video, to the Free plugin's settings screen. Free keeps working on its own.
What Pro adds
| Where | What |
|---|---|
| Premium Gallery tab PRO | Pick the gallery style and set that style's options |
| General tab | A Pro Style Shortcodes panel |
| Product data → Video | Videos per product |
| License tab | Activation and status |
| System Status | Pro version and license status |
| Plugins screen | A Settings link under Pro that opens the License tab, and an optional deactivation survey |
The Get Premium tab disappears once Pro is active. Pro's settings are saved separately from Free's, and every style keeps its own settings while another one is active.
Activating your license
- Install Pro next to Free
Free and WooCommerce must be active.
- Open License
Paste your key and click Activate. The status shows Active (or Active (Lifetime)), the key is shown masked, and a non-lifetime license shows Renews/expires with its date.
- Pick a style
Go to Premium Gallery and choose your Active style.
- Status pill, masked key and Deactivate button
Activation messages
| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
| Please enter a license key. | Paste the key from your purchase email or account. |
| That license key is not valid. | Check for missing characters or spaces. |
| That license key is for a different product. | Use the Product Gallery & Image Zoom key. |
| Could not reach the license server. | Your server couldn't connect to siteryn.com; try again or ask your host. |
| Activation failed. Please try again. | Often the key's site limit is used up: deactivate it on another site, or contact support. |
Before activation: preview
Without an active license you can explore everything. The Premium Gallery tab shows a Pro preview banner ("Activate your license to use this feature") with Activate license and Get a license buttons. Style cards stay clickable so you can see each style's settings, but every other control is disabled and the tab has no Save button or Reset card. The product Video tab shows the same notice above disabled fields.
Nothing Pro-related is saved, Pro style shortcodes show the Free gallery, and your store keeps showing the Free gallery.
License checks & lapses
- The license is re-checked every 12 hours. If siteryn.com can't be reached, the last known status is kept.
- If the license expires or becomes invalid, your store falls back to the Free Horizontal Thumbnail Slider. Your chosen style, its settings and product videos are kept and return when you reactivate.
- The status pill shows Active, Active (Lifetime) or, for any license that isn't valid (expired, revoked, never activated), Inactive.
- Each site URL is a separate activation, including staging sites.
Updates
While licensed, Pro updates appear under Dashboard → Updates like any other plugin.
Moving to another site
Click Deactivate on the License tab to free the activation, then activate the key on the new site. Deleting the plugin doesn't free it.
Deactivating and deleting Pro
Deactivating Pro restores the Free gallery and removes nothing. Deleting Pro removes its settings and license data; product videos stay on your products and return if you reinstall.
When you deactivate Pro on the Plugins screen, a short optional survey asks why. Skip & Deactivate sends nothing. Submit & Deactivate sends your answer, the plugin, WordPress, PHP and WooCommerce versions, the site language and URL to Siteryn; your email is included only if you tick You may contact me about this.
