Avada License/Registration Q and A
New to Avada 7.3 is an improved, streamlined registration method that makes it possible for you to start building your new Avada website even faster. You will no longer be required to generate an Envato token key to register. Instead, copy the license code and add it to the Avada Dashboard registration field. Please continue reading below for more detailed information and answers to commonly asked questions.
Login to your Themeforest marketplace account (themeforest.net) and navigate to the ‘Downloads’ section, or if you have just purchased the Avada theme check your email inbox for the Envato email purchase confirmation that does include the item purchase code -> Click here to see the download page.
If you have updated to Avada 7.3 and have not yet re-registered your Avada website with a purchase code as explained in this help file, the Envato token key will only continue to be valid for an additional ten (10) days.
Once the ten (10) days are concluded, the Envato token key will be rendered invalid. This will not cause your site to break or to stop functioning normally. However, you will be required to register the website with a purchase code.

From Avada 7.3 and beyond, a token key is no longer required and will not work for registration purposes. For any Avada website older than version 7.3, the token key used for registration will continue to work until the website is updated to Avada 7.3 or beyond.
In short, nothing will happen. We do, however, encourage you to make sure that you keep WordPress, Avada, and your plugins updated at all times. When you decide to update please be sure to follow these detailedinstructions.

Yes, per license, you can use one dedicated staging site. If the domain you are working on matches one of the patterns below, our system will automatically register it as a staging site. Domains that match none of these patterns currently won’t qualify as staging sites.
TLDs – Top-level Domains (domain endings)
*.dev(example.dev)*.local(example.local)*.staging(example.staging)*.test(example.test)
Subdomains (domain prefixes)
dev.*(dev.example.com)local.*(local.example.com)staging.*(staging.example.com)test.*(test.example.com)wpdev.*(wpdev.example.com)webdev.*(webdev.example.com)devsite.*(devsite.example.com)
Staging domains of hosting providers
stagingN.*(whereNis an unsigned integer)*.wpengine.com*.flywheelstaging.com*.dreamhosters.com*.kinsta.cloud*.pantheonsite.io*.myftpupload.com*.cloudwaysapps.com*.staging.wpmu.host*.pressdns.com*.wpcomstaging.com*-liquidwebsites.com
Local setups
*localhost*127.0.0.0
No, it does not require an additional license. Provided that you follow our recommendations for Staging site setups, our system will recognize it.
You can set up one Staging site for each Avada license that you own.
This will actually depend on the use case. Licenses in general, apply to the end product you use them for. Usually, this end product will be a website with a specific topic. If you use sub-domains where the topic of the site is not identical or the general design is different, then these sub-domains represent own end products, thus you will need one license per sub-domain. Only in cases where topic and general design of your sub-domains match the purpose of your main site, it is fine to go with one license.
Examples
Multiple sub-domains as multiple end products
Suppose you do a website where you present different branches of your business in different cities or countries. Thus, you create two different sub-domains: brancha.my-business.com and branchb.my-business.com. If the purpose of each of the sub-domain sites is a bit different or the general design is different, you have created different end products. So in this case you need one license per sub-domain.
Suppose you do a website for a retailer of apples and a retailer of pears, both hosted on your main domain. Thus, you create two different sub-domains: apples.my-grocery-store.com and pears.my-grocery-store.com. Your end products here clearly are the websites for each of the merchants, so in this case you need one license per sub-domain.
Multiple sub-domains in one end product
Suppose you do a website where you present different departments of the same local company. Thus, you create two different sub-domains: sales.my-business.com and customercare.my-business.com. If the departments are presented in a way that uses the same general design as your main site, they count towards a single end product. So in this case you don’t need extra licenses per sub-domain.
Suppose you do a website for a grocery store and among other goods, you sell apples and pears. To show your supplies, you create two different sub-domains: apples.my-grocery-store.com and pears.my-grocery-store.com. Your end product clearly is the website for the grocery store, so you only need one license.
In case the domain of your website needs to change, this will be possible. Transferring a license to a different domain permanently (when the license owner changes or the website using the license is abandoned), will work too. However, to ensure that the website is actively registered, please follow these steps:
Before you switch domains, first deregister the purchase code inside of the Avada Dashboard.
After the domain has been switched, reregister the purchase code inside of the Avada Dashboard.

Request that they register a support account, using the provided license code and by following these instructions.
Yes, you can, at an Avada support level. To clarify, whoever purchases the theme license via Themeforest, is the rightful owner of the license. According to Envato, the ownership of a license can’t be transferred between individuals or marketplace accounts. At an Avada support level, the following scenarios are possible:
- If you have not registered the purchase code within your support Dashboard, you can request that your customer registers a support account using the provided license code, and by following these instructions.
- If you have already registered a purchase code within your support account and would like to pass it on to your client so that they can register their own support account, you can deregister the purchase code from within your support Dashboard.
Envato’s licensing terms and conditions stipulate that a regular license is required per domain install of the theme.
