Fix a Hidden License Key Activation Area

Are you missing the “Register License Key” area from Slider Revolution’s main admin page? This article will help you reveal this hidden area so you can register your plugin and access your premium benefits.

What is the Register License Key Area?

After purchasing Slider Revolution, you can register a license key generated from your member dashboard.

Registration unlocks premium benefits, including 200+ ready-to-go templates, 25+ advanced addons, a massive library of videos, photos & icons, and direct 1-on-1 support.

You can register your license key in the main admin area of the Slider Revolution plugin. Click the Activation menu item to scroll down to the Register License Key area.

If your copy of Slider Revolution came bundled with a theme, it’s the theme author may have hidden the Register License Key area.

The reason theme authors sometimes do this is that they don’t provide license keys for Slider Revolution’s premium features, so they don’t want to create confusion by showing the Register License Key area to customers who may not yet have a license key to register.

Instead, they show a modified Slider Revolution admin area that looks like this:

Reveal the “Register License Key” Area via a Temporary Theme Switch

In the situation where the Register License Key area is not visible, you can either:

  • Switch your theme to another theme temporarily. This will reveal the Register License Key area to register your license key.
  • Or you can contact our support team.

Switch Your Currently Activated Theme

Switching a theme does not break a website or theme; it only turns off its styling until you reactivate the theme.

Note: As a precaution, we recommend creating a backup of your site before switching your theme to another.

Let’s learn how to switch a theme.
