License Management
Premium themes require a license key. Each key has a limited number of activation slots — one per server where qui is running.
Activating a License
- Open Settings → Themes in your qui instance.
- Click Add License and enter your license key.
- Premium themes are available immediately after activation.
Moving a License to a New Server
If you are replacing a server or reinstalling, you need to free the activation slot used by the old instance before the key will work on the new one.
If the old server is still accessible
- Open qui on the old server.
- Go to Settings → Themes and click Remove next to the license.
- This deactivates the license on that machine and frees the slot.
- Activate the same key on the new server.
If the old server is gone
When the old server no longer exists (hardware failure, destroyed VPS, etc.) you cannot remove the license from within qui. Use the license portal instead:
- Go to licenses.getqui.com.
- Register or log in with the same email address you used to purchase the license.
- Find your license and deactivate the old activation.
- Activate the key on your new server from Settings → Themes.
Recovering a Lost License Key
Log in to licenses.getqui.com with the email address you used at checkout. Your license keys are listed there.
Troubleshooting
"License activation limit has been reached"
All activation slots for your key are in use. Deactivate an old activation either from the other qui instance (Settings → Themes → Remove) or through licenses.getqui.com if that server is no longer available.
"This license was activated on a different machine"
This means the qui database was copied from another server. The stored activation does not match this machine's identity. Remove the license in Settings → Themes → Remove, then re-activate it with your key.
"Unable to reach the license service"
The license server is temporarily unreachable. Wait a moment and try again. If the issue persists, check your server's outbound network connectivity.
