Frequently Asked Questions about Pre-activated and Original Product
Below, we provide you with useful information that will help you decide which type of product license best suits your needs or desires.
How many websites can I use a pre-activated product and an original product on?
The pre-activated product, being precisely “pre-activated”, gives you the possibility of using it on as many websites as you want. On the other hand, the original product, being “original”, gives you the possibility of using it only on a single domain.
Why choose a pre-activated or original product?
Depending on the case, there are products that lose access to certain functions when pre-activated. Or, they do not have the same features as the original product, since sometimes the product needs to connect or communicate with the author's servers for one feature or another.
An example of what has been discussed could be the case of Elementor Pro, where the pre-activated version gives you access to all the elements of the pro version, but given the pre-activation, it does not allow you to access the libraries, since to do so you must connect to the author's servers.
If you only want the pro features, then the pre-activated version is more than enough. On the other hand, if you want to have access to the libraries, then the original version is your choice.
Is the original version always better than the pre-activated one?
The answer is a big “it depends.”
That's right, it all depends on the product. There are original products that do not need a "key" to work. That is, they are downloaded from the author, so they are original, we publish them and you can use them on as many websites as you want.
On the other hand, there are cases like Divi Theme. This product is published directly from the author, completely original and as is, it works on all the websites you want, but you will not be able to update from the backend or access the libraries without a valid original "key".
Following the example, if you only want to access Divi's own tools, the pre-activated version is more than enough. However, if you want to update from the backend and/or access the libraries, then the original version is your option.
What general benefits do I get with an original license?
- You will be using a completely original product, which would be as if you were buying it directly from the author, but at a lower price. This is because we as an agency buy licenses in large volumes, which allows us to offer competitive prices.
- Regardless of the product, you can upgrade immediately when a new version of the original purchased product is released, as you can do so directly from the WordPress backend.
- You will have access to the "premium/pro" features that the product includes without any problems, without the possible limitation of not being able to access a library due to loss of connection to the author's servers.
> It is important to note that, depending on the product, there are optional, secondary, added and/or independent services that are not included in the original licenses distributed by us.
> This information will be clearly indicated in the product description.
Will all products in the store be available for purchase in their original format?
No. Whether or not we have a product in original format depends on the following situations:
- Author distribution format:There are cases where it is not worth selling an original license of a product, because given the author's distribution format, it would be almost the same between the author and us, so it does not make sense.
- Cost and Differential:There are cases where, given the author's volume value, it is not worth selling the original license, because the difference between the author and us would be very small. In these cases, we will simply offer the pre-activated version.
- Terms of Contract:There are products that cannot be purchased in bulk, so in these cases it is impossible.
- Offer and demand:There are products that, given their nature, would require a lot of money to invest without the real clarity of knowing how long it would take to recover the investment. To do this, we will evaluate each case and, accordingly, enable more products.
