    Before proceeding, make sure you’ve installed the Sugar Calendar Bookings plugin on your website.


    If you’ve just upgraded from Sugar Calendar Bookings Lite, you’ll first need to install our separate, paid plugin. Please see our tutorial on how to install the pro plugin for all the details.

    Accessing Your License Key

    After installing and activating the plugin, the next step is to locate your license key to verify your Sugar Calendar Bookings installation.

    To access your license key, log in to your Sugar Calendar account and select View License Keys, Details, and Downloads from your account overview.

    View Sugar Calendar Bookings license details

    Next, click the Downloads tab. Here you’ll find your license details. Go ahead and click the copy icon beside the LICENSE KEY to copy it to your clipboard.

    From your WordPress Dashboard, go to Bookings » Settings and click on the General tab.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Here are some of the most common questions about verifying Sugar Calendar Bookings license.

    How many sites can I use my Sugar Calendar Bookings license on?

    Each license type includes a specific site limit. For example, a Basic license covers one site, while higher tiers allow multiple activations. Visit our pricing page for complete details on each plan’s limits.

    Do subdomains count toward site limits?

    Yes. Each subdomain or WordPress multisite counts as a separate activation. If you’ve reached your activation limit, you can upgrade your license to support additional sites.

    Do localhost or staging sites count toward site limits?

    No, localhost and recognized staging domains are marked as test sites and do not count toward your active site limit. You can confirm this in your Sugar Calendar dashboard, where these sites appear with a “test site” label.

    Test site

    Domains recognized as test or local environments include:

    • dev.*
    • staging.*
    • localhost
    • 10.0.0.0/8
    • 172.16.0.0/12
    • 192.168.0.0/16
    • *.dev
    • *.local
    • *.test
