Activate your POM LMS license

The license connects this site to your POM LMS subscription. It authorizes the domain and enables private updates.

What you need

• An active POM LMS subscription.
• The license key from My Account → Licenses & Downloads.
• Administrator access to this site.

Save and validate the key

1. Open Settings → POM LMS.
2. Open the License section.
3. Paste the key.
4. Save and validate.
5. Confirm the section reports a valid state for this domain.

Where the key is stored

In the shared POM product license registry used by every POM product on the site — not in a POM LMS-specific option, and not behind a separate menu.

One place to look when several POM products are installed, and one place to change if a key is rotated.

Multisite

Two rules, both shown in the License section of a subsite:

1. POM LMS must be network-active, or active on the main site, for the local updater to work.
2. The network license is configured from the main site; a subsite does not hold its own update license.

The missing-license notice

When no valid license is present, POM LMS shows an administration notice linking straight to its License section. It is a prompt, not a lockout.

What the license does not affect

• Courses and lessons keep working. Content, templates and access rules do not depend on the license check.
• Students are unaffected. Access, progress and the account area behave normally.
• The settings screen stays available.

What you lose without a valid license is update delivery: new versions are not offered.

What it does not replace

The theme requirement is separate. A valid license on a site running a non-POM theme still means course pages do not render as intended. Licensing and the theme are independent requirements.

When to revisit it

• After moving the site to another domain — the key authorizes a domain, so revalidate.
• After a subscription renewal, if the state does not refresh on its own.
• Before a planned update, so a new version is actually offered.
• After restoring a backup onto a different environment.

Keep the key private

The license key is credential-like. Do not put it in screenshots, support messages, tickets or shared documents. Support can identify a subscription without it — see Safe information to send with a support request.
