License Activation
Activating your license connects WP Career Board Pro to wbcomdesigns.com for updates and support.
Where to Find Your License Key
Section titled “Where to Find Your License Key”- Log in to your account at wbcomdesigns.com
- Go to My Account → Licenses
- Copy the license key for WP Career Board Pro
Primary Method: Pro Setup Wizard
Section titled “Primary Method: Pro Setup Wizard”After activating the Pro plugin, a notice appears on all WP Career Board admin screens:
“WP Career Board Pro needs setup - configure your license and credits.”
Click Complete Pro Setup to open the Pro Setup Wizard. The wizard walks you through:
- License step - paste your license key and click Activate & Continue
- Credits Setup step - configure your low-credit threshold and purchase URL
- Pro Pages step (mini-wizard only) - creates the Find Candidates page if missing
The wizard is the recommended activation path, especially on new installs.
Alternative: Settings Page
Section titled “Alternative: Settings Page”You can also activate the license directly without the wizard:
- In your WordPress admin, go to WP Career Board → Settings → License
- Paste your license key in the License Key field
- Click Activate License
A confirmation message shows your license status, expiry date, and how many sites are active on this license.
