# What is an "Original License"?

To understand this concept, we must divide our catalog into two groups:

#### 1. The General Catalog (GPL License)

95% of our products (thousands of plugins and themes) are files that work without needing a license key.

* **How do they work?** Simply download the file, install it, and it works 100%.
* **What if it asks for a key?** It's usually just a cosmetic notice or for automatic updates (which we cover with GPLClub Updater). You can ignore that notice.
* **Limit:** You can install these products on unlimited sites.

#### 2. Products with "Original License" (Official Activation)

There is a select group of more than 50 premium products (such as Elementor Pro, WP Rocket, Astra Pro, Divi, etc.) that, due to their technology, require a real connection with the developer's servers to unlock all their features.

**What benefits does our "Original Activation" give you?** When you request this type of activation, we connect your website with one of our legally purchased agency licenses (Developer/Agency License). This allows you to:

* ☁️ **Cloud Access:** Download premium templates, design kits, and media libraries (e.g., Elementor Library).
* 🤖 **AI Features:** In some cases, access to limited artificial intelligence tools.
* 🛡 **Real Validation:** The plugin will recognize your site as "Officially Activated," removing watermarks or functionality blocks.
* 🔁 **Direct Updates:** You'll receive updates directly from the developer.

> **Important:** These activations are a manual and premium service, therefore they have a different usage limit than daily downloads.
