  • 2. CompressX will securely validate your license key.
  • 3. Once activation is successful, the pro features will be unlocked automatically.

Step 5: Confirm Activation Status

After activation, you should see confirmation that:

  • 1. Your license is active.
  • 2. CompressX Pro features are available for use.
  • 3. No further action is required.

You can now start using all CompressX Pro features across your site.

Deactivate License

Step 6: Deactivate the License

Once the process is complete, a green confirmation box will appear stating “CompressX Pro is activated”. The activation button will be replaced by a red Deactivate License button, which you can use if you ever need to move the license to a different site within transfer window.

After deactivating the CompressX Pro license on your website, please remember to also remove the site from the ‘LICENSE & WEBSITES’ page in your CompressX account dashboard. This ensures that the license activation record is fully cleared.
