What is a License Key?
A license key is a unique code tied to your Festinger Vault account and subscription plan (Freemium, Basic, Pro, Agency, or one-time plans). It activates the plugin on your WP site, enabling access to downloads, updates, and premium features like White-Label Branding or Bulk Downloads.
Key Features

- Plan-Specific Access: Unlocks features based on your plan (e.g., 10 downloads/day for Basic, unlimited for Agency).
- Domain Limits: Restricts activation to a set number of domains (e.g., 3 for Riding Solo, 999 for Lifetime VIP).
- GPL Compliance: Ensures all assets are 100% GPL-compliant, backed by Hiscox insurance.
