Install and Activate the Bookings and Appointments for WooCommerce Plugin License

The Bookings and Appointments for WooCommerce plugin is a powerful tool to set up a booking facility on your website.

In this article, we will guide you through the necessary steps that are required to install and activate the plugin.

Installation

After purchasing the Bookings and Appointments for WooCommerce plugin, you will receive an order completion email. It contains a Download Your Files link and your API keys: a Master API Key and a Product Order API Key for the plugin.

Click Download Your Files in the email to go to PluginHive → My Account. (Please log in or register on PluginHive if you haven’t already.) You can also go to My Account → Licensed Downloads directly. Download the plugin’s .zip file from there.

Note: WooCommerce must be installed and active, as the plugin requires it.

You have now successfully installed and activated the plugin. The next step is to activate the license.

License Activation

You can get your Licence activation key in the order completion email, or from PluginHive → My Account → License Keys.

Once the license is activated, License Status shows Activated, and Activation Info lists the activations purchased, used, and remaining for your key. With this, you are ready to start using the plugin.

Move the License to Another Site

To use your key on a different site, deactivate it on the current one first. Go to Bookings → License → License Deactivation, tick the Deactivate License checkbox, and click Save Changes.

View the API History

To see when your license was activated and when it expires, open the API History tab under Bookings → License. Each activation is listed with its Access Granted Date and Access Expiry Date.

License Expiry Notices

As your license nears expiry, a notice appears in your WordPress dashboard at 16-30 days, 8-15 days, and 7 days or less remaining, and again once the license has expired. Each notice includes a Renew Subscription button that takes you to your PluginHive account.

Note: The notice is shown to administrators and can be closed with the × icon, but it reappears the next day until you renew. Once the license expires, the booking functionality is unavailable until you renew.
