How licensing works

  1. Install the free plugin from the EmDash registry.
  2. Buy Pro, then enter your domain on the order page or under My account → EmDash licenses. Your key appears.
  3. Paste the key in EmDash under Settings → Auto Unpublish Posts Pro.

Keys are checked offline; the plugin never contacts our servers. Keys always work on localhost and *.test. If a license expires, existing rules and schedules keep running; you renew to create or edit them.
