Your entitlement to run MEC Pro comes from your <strong>Themeco license<\/strong> \u2014 the same one you use for the X theme itself. There is nothing extra to buy from Webnus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_It_Works\"><\/span>How It Works<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You do not enter anything in MEC. The X theme and MEC talk to each other directly: once your X theme is validated with your Themeco license key, MEC recognizes it and unlocks the Pro features by itself. In MEC &gt; Dashboard, the License Activation box then shows a green <strong>Bundle license<\/strong> notice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;This site is licensed through X, so no purchase code is needed. The license stays active while that theme is in use.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Checklist\"><\/span>Checklist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make sure the <strong>X theme is the active theme<\/strong> of your website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter your <strong>Themeco license key<\/strong> in the X theme&#8217;s license settings \u2014 the same key you use for your X theme license (you can find it in your account at theme.co).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open <strong>MEC > Dashboard<\/strong>. Within a short time (it happens automatically in the background) the License Activation box shows the green <strong>Bundle license<\/strong> notice and the Pro features are unlocked.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If it does not activate:<\/strong> a message like <em>&#8220;The theme license that entitles this site to Pro could not be verified&#8221;<\/em> means the theme license check failed \u2014 make sure your X theme license is active and validated, then give it another moment. You can also enter a MEC purchase code instead at any time (see below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"408\" src=\"https:\/\/webnus.net\/dox\/modern-events-calendar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/activation-n-07-1024x408.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13567\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/webnus.net\/dox\/modern-events-calendar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/activation-n-07-1024x408.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/webnus.net\/dox\/modern-events-calendar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/activation-n-07-300x119.jpg 300w, https:\/\/webnus.net\/dox\/modern-events-calendar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/activation-n-07-766x305.jpg 766w, https:\/\/webnus.net\/dox\/modern-events-calendar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/activation-n-07.jpg 1072w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Long_Does_the_Activation_Last\"><\/span>How Long Does the Activation Last?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your MEC Pro activation is tied to the X theme being the <strong>active theme<\/strong> of your website. While X is your active theme, MEC Pro stays enabled.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your license key is verified with Themeco at activation time \u2014 keep your X theme license in good standing according to theme.co&#8217;s terms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ\"><\/span>FAQ<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"I_never_received_a_MEC_purchase_code_Is_that_a_problem\"><\/span>I never received a MEC purchase code. Is that a problem?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No \u2014 that is expected. As an X theme customer your Themeco license key is your entitlement; MEC picks it up from the theme automatically. You never need a MEC purchase code unless you stop using the X theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_still_use_my_own_MEC_purchase_code_on_a_site_running_X\"><\/span>Can I still use my own MEC purchase code on a site running X?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. The purchase-code field stays available in the License Activation box even when the bundle license is active. If you enter your own MEC purchase code, it takes precedence \u2014 a customer who paid for MEC directly is never downgraded to the bundled entitlement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_use_MEC_Pro_if_I_switch_to_a_different_theme\"><\/span>Can I use MEC Pro if I switch to a different theme?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bundled entitlement applies while the X theme is active on your site. If you move to another theme and want to keep using MEC Pro, purchase a MEC Pro license from webnus.net and activate it with its purchase code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"I_moved_my_site_to_a_new_domain_What_do_I_do\"><\/span>I moved my site to a new domain. What do I do?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Validate the X theme with your Themeco license key on the new domain (the way you originally did), and MEC Pro will follow automatically. If the Bundle license notice does not appear after a while, contact support and mention that you are an X theme customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_activating_on_a_staging_or_local_site_use_up_anything\"><\/span>Does activating on a staging or local site use up anything?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Staging and local activations do not consume license activations. See <a href=\"https:\/\/webnus.net\/dox\/modern-events-calendar\/staging-activation\/\">Staging and Local Activation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Themecos_site_was_down_and_my_activation_failed\"><\/span>Themeco&#8217;s site was down and my activation failed.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is temporary, not a refusal \u2014 simply try again a little later. An outage on theme.co&#8217;s side never deactivates MEC on sites that are already activated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you purchased the X theme from Themeco, MEC Pro is already included with your theme \u2014 you do not need a separate MEC purchase code.
