This article covers moving a site and its WP Security Ninja license from one Freemius account to another. Typical cases: selling a site, changing ownership, or consolidating accounts.
Prerequisites
- Access to the source account (current owner) and the destination account (new owner).
- WP Security Ninja installed and activated on the site you want to transfer.
Method 1: Transfer ownership from the Account page
-
Open the Account page on the site (for example
example.com): WP Security Ninja → Account.
-
Start the ownership switch
- Find the email address row.
- Click Edit next to the email.
- Enter the new owner’s email (the address on their WP Security Ninja / Freemius account).
- Follow the on-screen steps to start the transfer.
-
Confirm by email
- Both the current owner and the new owner get confirmation emails.
- Both must confirm for the transfer to complete.
-
Time limits
- Current owner: confirm within four hours.
- After that, new owner: accept within 24 hours.
-
Done
- After both confirm, the site leaves your account and links to the new owner’s account.
-
Repeat for any other sites you need to move.
Method 2: Disconnect and reactivate
Use this when the new owner will activate with their own license.
-
Open WP Security Ninja → Account on the site.
-
If a license is active and you need to free it, click Deactivate License.
-
Click Disconnect.
That removes the site from your account.
-
WordPress shows the activation screen that asks for a license key.
-
Let the new owner activate with their key. The installation then links to their account.
-
Repeat for other sites as needed.
