# Move a ThemeForest purchase code to another site

> A ThemeForest purchase code registers one live site. How to free a site, move the code to a new one, and what to do when you need more sites.

A ThemeForest license covers **one site** (see [Licenses and purchase codes](https://seventhqueen.com/docs/common/licensing/)). Since your purchase code registers the theme on that site, it can be active on one live site at a time. You can move it to another site whenever you want.

## The one-site rule

- **One live site per purchase code.** The site that uses the code gets theme updates, the demo import and the premium plugins.
- **Staging and local sites do not count.** Addresses such as `localhost`, IP addresses, `.local`, `.test`, `.localhost`, `.invalid` and `.example` domains, and `staging.`, `stage.`, `dev.` and `test.` subdomains can use the same code next to your live site.
- **Until December 11, 2026**, extra live sites keep working; the theme panel and your account show a notice so you can choose. **From December 11, 2026**, the code stays with one live site (the one that has used it the longest among the sites active lately; your account shows which) and other live sites get no updates, demos or premium plugins.
- Your site keeps working either way: the theme itself, your pages and settings are never locked.

## Free a site from the theme panel

Use this when the old site still runs, for example before you move to a new domain or hand a site over.

1. On the old site, open the theme panel ([KLEO](https://seventhqueen.com/docs/kleo/register-your-theme/), [Typer](https://seventhqueen.com/docs/typer/register-your-theme/), [SeeKo](https://seventhqueen.com/docs/seeko/register-your-theme/), [SweetDate](https://seventhqueen.com/docs/sweetdate/register-your-theme/), [BuddyApp](https://seventhqueen.com/docs/buddyapp/register-your-theme/)).
2. In the **Theme registration** box on the **Dashboard** tab, click **Remove**.
3. The code is removed from that site and the site is freed on our update server.
4. Register the code on the new site.

**Remove** frees the site with SQ Panel 1.6.3 or newer (KLEO 6.2.5, SweetDate 4.1.5, SeeKo 1.5.7, BuddyApp 2.1.5, Typer 1.41.5 or newer). On older versions it only removes the code from that site: free the site in your account instead (below).

## Move the code from your account

Use this when the old site is gone or you cannot sign in to it.

1. Sign in at [seventhqueen.com/account](https://seventhqueen.com/account/). If the code is not in your account yet, sign in with **Continue with Envato** or use **Add a purchase code** under **ThemeForest purchases**.
2. **ThemeForest purchases** lists the sites that use each code.
   - **Deactivate** next to a site frees it. Register the code on the new site.
   - When a new site was refused because the code is used on another site, it is listed under the code with **Keep this site instead**. Click it to move the code to that site: the other site stops getting updates, demos and premium plugins. The new site gets updates again within 15 minutes; keep the code saved in its theme panel.

When the code is used on another site, **Manage sites** in the theme panel opens your account.

A site that does not check in with our update server for 90 days frees its place by itself.

## Need more than one site?

- **Buy another ThemeForest license** for the second site. Each purchase has its own purchase code.
- **Or get a plan on seventhqueen.com**: Starter and Pro cover more sites and include longer support. As a ThemeForest buyer you get **50% off the first year** of your theme's Starter or Pro yearly plan, once per purchase code. See [ThemeForest buyers](https://seventhqueen.com/themeforest/) and [Pricing](https://seventhqueen.com/pricing/).

## If something does not work

- **"This ThemeForest purchase code is used on another site"** in the theme panel: free the other site or click **Keep this site instead** in your account (above), or get a plan.
- **The code is in another account**: adding a code that already has live sites needs **Continue with Envato**, so we know you own it.
- Still stuck? [Open a ticket](https://seventhqueen.com/docs/common/getting-support/) with both site addresses. Never post your purchase code in public places such as comments or forums.
