> Find your ThemeForest purchase code and register BuddyApp in the BuddyApp Panel to unlock the demo import and the premium plugins.

Registering connects your site to our update server with your ThemeForest purchase code. It unlocks:

- the **demo import** on the **Demo Data** tab;
- installs and updates of the **premium plugins** that come with BuddyApp, such as WPBakery Page Builder.

Until you register, you can browse and preview the demos, but their button reads **Register BuddyApp to import demos**.

## Find your purchase code

1. Sign in to [ThemeForest](https://themeforest.net/) and open **Downloads** from your account menu.
2. Find BuddyApp, click **Download** and choose **License certificate & purchase code** (PDF or text).
3. Open the file and copy the **Item Purchase Code**. It looks like `7346ea7e-1052-4b2c-9655-521211318123`.

Envato also explains this in [Where is my purchase code?](https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202822600-Where-Is-My-Purchase-Code)

## Register

1. Go to **Appearance > BuddyApp Panel**. The panel opens on the **Dashboard** tab.
2. In the **Theme registration** box, paste the code in **Purchase code** and click **Register**.
3. You see "Thank you, the theme is registered. You can now install and update the premium plugins." and the box shows **Registered**, with the date your support ends.

The **Register now** links on the **Demo Data** and **Plugins** tabs open the same box.

## If registration fails

- **"This purchase code is not valid for BuddyApp"**: check that you copied the whole code, without spaces, and that it belongs to BuddyApp. A purchase code from another item, or an Envato Elements download, does not work here.
- **"Could not reach the license server"**: your server must be able to reach `https://updates.seventhqueen.com`. Some firewalls and security plugins block outgoing requests; ask your host to allow it. The **System status** box on the Dashboard tab shows whether the update server is reachable.
- **Not confirmed**: a code is saved but could not be checked. Click **Remove code** and register again, or try again later.
- Still stuck? [Open a ticket](https://seventhqueen.com/docs/common/getting-support/) with your site URL. Never post your purchase code in public places such as comments or forums.

## Moving to a new domain

The registration is stored in your site's database. After you move the site, open **Appearance > BuddyApp Panel** and check the **Theme registration** box. If it does not show **Registered**, click **Remove code** and register again. See [Move your site](https://seventhqueen.com/docs/common/move-your-site/).
