Manage authorized domains

The list of sites using a license, and how to take one off it.

Where the list is

On the license card in Licenses & Downloads, below the key. Each entry shows a domain, and an environment label when the site is not a production one.

The count at the top of the card — Domains — is that list measured against your plan's allowance.

How a domain gets there

By activating the product on the site with your license key. There is no way to add a domain from the account; activation happens at the site.

Removing a domain

  1. Find the domain in the list.
  2. Select the × beside it.
  3. Confirm.

The confirmation is explicit about the consequence: the product will stop validating there until you activate it again.

The slot is freed immediately, and your account shows a notice naming the domain that was deactivated.

What removal does to the site

The product stays installed and keeps running with the files it has. What stops is validation — and with it, updates and anything the product gates behind a valid license.

It is not destructive, and it is reversible: activate again with the same key and the domain returns.

When to remove a domain

Situation Remove?
The site was decommissioned Yes
A staging site whose project ended Yes
You moved to a new domain and activated it Yes, remove the old one
You need a slot for a new site Yes, remove the least useful one
The site is temporarily offline No — it will re-validate when it returns
You are troubleshooting a rejected key No — removing does not fix a rejection

Housekeeping

Domain lists grow quietly. Every few months, open your cards and ask of each domain: is this still a site I run?

Staging copies, client sites you handed over and short-lived campaign sites are the usual culprits, and they are the reason an allowance that looked generous is suddenly full.

Environment labels

A domain recorded as something other than production carries its environment as a label. The label is informational and the domain still counts toward the allowance. Whether local or development environments may activate depends on the plan.

What the list will not tell you

  • When the domain was activated.
  • Whether the product is currently enabled on that site.
  • Which version it is running.

If you need to know whether a site is live and current, check the site.
