# Freemius License Migration

At the beginning of 2024, we switched our payment and license system to the provider [Freemius](https://freemius.com).

As part of this, it is necessary for all customer websites to be reactivated via the new license system.

## Automatic migration via plugin update

The migration is usually done automatically with our plugin update version 4. You can easily check whether your website(s) has already been converted to the new license system by checking whether you can find the following view in your WordPress admin area.

![Aawp Plugin Freemius Account Page](https://getaawp.com/wp-content/uploads/aawp-plugin-freemius-account-page-889x630.png)

If you find the "Account" view shown above in the AAWP admin menu and your data is displayed, then everything has already been migrated, and you don't need to do anything else.

## Execute manual migration

You can't find the "Account" page shown above yet? Don't worry!

In this case, please download the latest AAWP plugin version (v4.0.0 or newer) via your [Freemius account](https://users.freemius.com/store/6470/) and upload the *aawp.zip* file via *Plugins > Install*, to overwrite the installed version.

Once you click on the *AAWP* menu item, will then see the following activation window, in which you should enter your personal license key.

After entering your license key, your website will be activated via the new license system, and you're all set.

Please don't forget to check all your AAWP powered websites.

## Conclusion

By reactivating your websites, you ensure that license and plugin updates can be delivered reliably.
