Does it need a separate activation?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Your license covers your website as a whole, including installs in a subdirectory such as <code>example.com\/blog<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_old_site_is_completely_lost_%E2%80%94_no_WordPress_access_at_all_What_now\"><\/span>The old site is completely lost \u2014 no WordPress access at all. What now?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use Method 2 above. If the panel also does not let you deactivate for any reason, contact support with your order number and the lost site&#8217;s address, and we will free the activation for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_activate_on_the_new_site_first_and_revoke_on_the_old_one_later\"><\/span>Can I activate on the new site first and revoke on the old one later?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only if your license still has a free activation. Otherwise the new activation will be refused with &#8220;Your license key has reached its activation limit&#8221; \u2014 free the old activation first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Manage_License_page_also_has_an_%E2%80%9CAdd_New_Site%E2%80%9D_form_Should_I_use_it\"><\/span>The Manage License page also has an &#8220;Add New Site&#8221; form.

Activating MEC on your new site (Method 1, step 4) registers the site for you automatically.
