Pro Annual and Lifetime · Secure downloads and license management through your account
Your license and account
Activate Pro from your central account
After confirmed payment, your account contains your Pro license key and secure plugin download. Each license activates one central WordPress installation; connected destination websites do not need their own SitePublisher AI installation.
SitePublisher AI Free
Free features do not require a commercial license. The package identifies itself as SitePublisher AI Free and keeps the local website, Single Article, local Website Profile, Platform Settings and post-and-page metadata available.
View the Free release page →Your Pro installation
Download the Pro ZIP from your account and install it in WordPress. Open SitePublisher AI → Pro License, select your purchased plan, enter your license key and click Activate Pro.
Compare Pro plans →Manage your account
Use your account to view your license, manage the linked website and annual renewal, download the plugin, and retrieve available invoices and credit notes.
Open your account →Identify your installation
The dashboard tells you what is active
Open the SitePublisher AI dashboard before updating. Save a screenshot of the overview cards so you can compare the installation after the package change.
Read these dashboard cards
Shows SitePublisher AI Free or SitePublisher AI Pro and the current access description.
Shows the plugin version and its exact build number. Include both in every update or support question.
The Edition card also reports how many active features are available for the installed package.
Expected access descriptions
This is the normal license state for the Free package.
Pro is available when the license is valid for this installation and its paid access is current.
Open SitePublisher AI → Pro License and activate the key from your account. If activation fails, check the purchased plan, linked website and paid access in your account.
Unexpected edition?
Stop before changing settings or creating replacement data.
A Free package intentionally hides Pro-only screens and workers. First compare the installed filename, edition and build with the approved release you intended to install.
Install a verified update
Protect the workflow before replacing plugin files
Pro checks for updates through account.sitepublisherai.es when update checks are enabled and your license is valid. Install an available update from WordPress → Plugins, or upload the latest Pro ZIP from your account. Let active publishing jobs finish before updating.
Create a recoverable checkpoint
- Read the release notes and confirm Free or Pro
- Back up the WordPress database and website files
- Record the current edition, version and build
- Save any diagnostic log entries you may still need
- Let active AI, media and publication requests finish
Use the WordPress updater or ZIP
- Open Plugins → Installed Plugins and select Update now when offered
- For a manual update, use Add Plugin → Upload Plugin and select the original ZIP
- Review the detected current and uploaded versions
- Choose replacement only when the edition is correct
- Keep the official package intact and follow the displayed replacement instructions
Verify before resuming work
- Confirm that SitePublisher AI remains active
- Check the new edition, version and build
- Run Health checks and review any required failure
- Confirm settings and existing queue records are present
- Create one controlled article and save it as Draft
Six-step verification
Treat the first draft as an update test
Do not resume a full production queue immediately. Verify the smallest safe workflow first, then expand the test only when each previous layer succeeds.
Installation and local workflow
Confirm the intended edition, version, build and available-feature count.
All required checks should pass before you test content generation.
Confirm the OpenAI configuration state and local Website Profile without revealing stored secrets.
Content and Pro workflow
Generate one short controlled article and save it as a WordPress draft.
Confirm remote websites and their profiles are visible before testing one draft publication.
Resume or create a small queue only after the local and remote draft tests succeed.
Official WordPress guidance
Always keep a current backup before updating plugins.
WordPress documents plugin upload, activation and update management in its official plugin administration guide.
Moving between editions
Keep your existing work when changing edition
Use the official package for the intended edition and keep a current backup. A valid Pro license enables Pro features; changing access does not require recreating your existing settings or connected websites.
When Pro access is unavailable
- Keeps existing Pro settings and queue records stored
- Keeps remote website records and encrypted credentials stored
- Hides Pro menus and blocks protected background processes
- Leaves eligible local Single Article jobs available
Returning to Pro
- Use only the matching approved Pro package
- Verify the Edition card before opening Pro workflows
- Confirm remote credentials are readable without revealing them
- Inspect old queue records before resuming automation
Account, activation and updates
Manage Pro throughout its lifetime
Annual renews yearly until canceled. Canceling renewal keeps access until the end of the paid period. Lifetime is a one-time purchase. Your account shows the current status of your license and linked installation.
Purchase and account
Choose your plan on the pricing page. After payment is confirmed, sign in to your account to retrieve your license, download and billing documents.
View current pricing information →Activation and status
Activate your key under SitePublisher AI → Pro License. To move the license, release the old linked website in your account or deactivate it in the old installation, then activate the same key on the new website.
Review the support route →Secure product updates
Eligible Pro installations retrieve updates from account.sitepublisherai.es after the license and linked website are checked. Installation uses the normal WordPress update flow. You can enable automatic updates in WordPress or install updates manually.
Read the Changelog →Separate API billing
Your OpenAI API account remains separate.
Your Pro purchase covers SitePublisher AI software access. OpenAI API usage is billed separately through your own OpenAI account.

License and update FAQ
How do licenses and updates work?
Use your central account for your license, linked website, secure download and billing documents.
Does SitePublisher AI Free need a license?
No. The Free package reports No license required and its included features work without a commercial subscription.
Where do I enter a Pro license key?
Open SitePublisher AI → Pro License in WordPress. Select your purchased plan, paste the key from your account and click Activate Pro.
Where can I manage my linked website?
Open your account to view or release the linked website. Release the old installation before activating the same key on a new one.
Does installing Free delete my Pro records?
No. The reviewed package keeps Pro settings, remote website data, queue records and encrypted credentials stored, but protected Pro interfaces and workers are unavailable in Free.
Can Free and Pro be installed together?
Use one active SitePublisher AI edition per installation. Follow the official installation or replacement instructions and deactivate the other edition when switching.
Do connected destination websites need this update?
No. Update the WordPress installation that runs SitePublisher AI. A connected destination uses its own WordPress REST API and Application Password; it does not need another SitePublisher AI copy merely to receive articles.
How do I receive Pro updates?
With a valid license, a matching linked website and update checks enabled, Pro checks the central account service for updates. Install them through WordPress, or enable WordPress automatic updates. The latest eligible ZIP is also available in your account.
