Migrating Your Easy Social Share Buttons License to Freemius

3 min read

As of May 12, 2026, Easy Social Share Buttons for WordPress will transition to Freemius for license management. To continue receiving automatic updates, existing CodeCanyon users must migrate their license—this process is free and ensures you retain lifetime updates and support under a new Freemius license. Even if you choose not to migrate, you will not lose support and can still manually update the plugin by downloading the latest version from your CodeCanyon profile.

Step-by-Step Migration Instructions #

1. Go to the Migration Page #

Visit the migration page:
https://socialsharingplugin.com/migrate-license/

2. Enter Your License Details #

Fill out the migration form with:

  • Email Address – If you already have a Freemius account, use this email to avoid creating a duplicate account.
  • CodeCanyon License Key – Your existing license key for Easy Social Share Buttons.

3. Start the Migration #

Click “Migrate License”. The system will verify your CodeCanyon license and generate your new Freemius license.

After a successful migration, you will receive an email with:

  • Your Freemius account (if you didn’t have one previously)
  • A download link for the Freemius version of the plugin
  • Your new Freemius lifetime license key

You can also download the plugin anytime from your account page

4. Install the Freemius Version of the Plugin #

You have two options to install the Freemius version:

Option 1: Upload and overwrite directly

  • Go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
  • Upload the Freemius plugin ZIP
  • When prompted, choose to overwrite the existing version

Option 2: Deactivate and delete old version first

  • Deactivate and delete the existing CodeCanyon version from your WordPress Plugins panel
  • Install the Freemius version via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin

No matter which method you choose, all your plugin settings and configurations will remain intact.
Activate the plugin and enter your new Freemius license key to start receiving updates.

Your Freemius Account #

After migration, your Freemius account gives you centralized control over licenses, downloads, and support.

Accessing Your Account #

From your Freemius account, you can:

  • Manage your licenses
  • Download the latest version of the plugin
  • Access support and documentation

Support #

All plugin support for migrated licenses is provided through your Freemius account. This ensures a streamlined and centralized support experience.

Exclusive Customer Benefits #

After migration, you gain access to direct customer discounts of up to 60% for:

  • New plugin licenses
  • Add-ons
  • Bundles

All offers and details are available on the migration page.

About Freemius #

Freemius simplifies software distribution and license management, providing:

  • Automatic plugin updates via your WordPress dashboard
  • Centralized license and account management
  • Streamlined support
  • Access to exclusive promotions

By migrating to Freemius, you ensure your plugin is always up to date and that you can easily manage licenses and support in one place.

What happens if I don’t convert my license? #

If you choose not to migrate your license, you will no longer get automatic updates via your WordPress dashboard (if your license is eligible for that). Furthermore, future features of Easy Social Share Buttons for WordPress may not work as expected.

While you can migrate at any time without losing access to the plugin, we highly recommend converting your license as soon as possible.

Migration is free, and while you can migrate at any time, we strongly recommend completing it as soon as possible to maintain full access and benefits.
