Whether you bought dvScripts for personal use or for client installations, understanding how licensing works is important for security, updates, and activation. This article explains the licensing process from A to Z, including activation, domain limits, re-installation rules, and common troubleshooting tips.

1. How the dvScripts Licensing System Works

The licensing system is simple: each installation of dvScripts must validate its license key with our server during activation. Once activated, the system securely verifies your domain and installation ID.

During installation, dvScripts sends:

• Your license key
• Your domain (example: panel.yoursite.com)
• A unique installation fingerprint

If the license is valid and unused, the system activates your copy and locks it to the domain. If the license is already used, or invalid, the installer will notify you.

2. Types of dvScripts Licenses

dvScripts offers two main licensing options depending on your plan:

Single-Domain License

• Valid for one domain or subdomain
• Can be transferred if needed (see transfer rules below)
• Includes updates and support

Unlimited License (Developer / Agency)

• Valid for unlimited domains
• Ideal for resellers or client work
• Includes priority support and upgrades

You can check your license type inside your dvScripts customer dashboard.

3. License Activation Process

Activating your license is fast and fully automatic. After you install dvScripts, you’ll reach a step asking for your:

• License key
• Purchase email
• Domain URL

Once submitted, dvScripts will communicate with the licensing server and unlock your installation.

Activation takes 2–5 seconds.

After activation, the license is stored locally and will remain active unless:

• You move the installation to a new domain
• You reinstall your script from scratch
• Your hosting environment changes (rare)

4. Domain Binding (Why It Exists)

Once activated, your license is bound to the domain used during installation. This prevents:

• Unauthorized copies
• Sharing licenses publicly
• Multiple installations using one license key

A license can be used on:

• Your main domain
• Or one subdomain (e.g., panel.example.com)

5. Reinstalling or Moving Your License

If you need to reinstall dvScripts or move it to a different domain, the system allows it, but you must follow the correct procedure.

Reinstallation on the Same Domain

✔ Allowed dvScripts will auto-reactivate your license using the same domain.

Moving to a New Domain

✔ Allowed, but requires license reset Contact support to reset your license if you need to change the domain.

Installing on Multiple Domains

❌ Not allowed unless you have an unlimited license.

6. How License Validation Works in the Background

dvScripts performs lightweight validation checks to ensure integrity and authenticity. These checks are:

• Secure (encrypted requests)
• Lightweight (won’t slow your panel)
• Automatic (no action required from you)

Your panel will continue running normally even if the license server is temporarily unreachable.

7. Common Licensing Issues & How to Fix Them

“Invalid License Key”

• Confirm you copied the key exactly
• Check for spaces or extra characters
• Verify you are entering your purchase email correctly

“License Already Active on Another Domain”

• Your key is already used
• You changed hosting or reinstalled without reset
• Contact support to reset the license

“Connection Failed”

• Your server firewall may block outgoing requests
• Check Curl, OpenSSL, PHP version, and allow outbound HTTP/HTTPS
• Try again after a few minutes

8. Why Licensing Protects You

Licensing is not only for copyright protection – it also protects your business.

• Ensures you’re using a clean, safe, official version
• Prevents modified or infected pirated copies
• Guarantees access to new features and improvements
• Allows our team to provide verified support

Now that you understand the dvScripts licensing system, you can confidently install, manage, and transfer your licenses without issues.
