License Management
MHM Rentiva requires a valid license key for all features (VIP Transfer, Messaging, Advanced Reports, etc.) to operate at full capacity. Manage your key via the MHM Rentiva > License menu.
💻 Local and staging environments
A valid license key is required in every environment, including local and staging sites.
Earlier versions unlocked Pro automatically on hosts ending in .dev, .local, .test, .staging or .localhost ("Developer Mode"). That was removed in 5.0.0: .dev is a real, publicly registrable domain, so a production site could end up with paid features unlocked by accident. A feature is now granted only by a signed license token that verifies — there is no constant, option or filter that opens one without it.
To work on a local or staging copy, activate your license there as you would on any other site. If you need the key on more than one site at once, deactivate it on the site you are finished with first (see below).
🟢 License Status & Activation
The page's admin panel is divided into three main blocks:
-
License Status: Shows the validity of the current license. When the license is active, a green tick displays "Pro License Active" along with a summary of unlocked features below: (All Pro features active: Unlimited vehicles/bookings, export, advanced reports, Vendor & Payout).
-
License Activation: Paste the license key you purchased into the
XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXformat field and click the "Activate License" button. The API validates instantly. -
License Management (Release): If you want to move the plugin to another website (domain), or deactivate a real license for testing or cancellation, use the "Deactivate License" button at the bottom. Otherwise, you may receive an activation error (Too many activations) on the new domain.
💎 Lite vs. Pro Comparison
The transparency table at the bottom of the page lets you compare the restrictions when the license is inactive (Lite) with the full scope of the licensed (Pro) state:
| Feature | Lite (Limit) | Pro (Unlimited) |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Vehicles | 5 Vehicles | Unlimited |
| Booking Capacity | 50 Bookings | Unlimited |
| Customer Database | 10 Customers | Unlimited |
| Add-ons | 4 Add-ons | Unlimited |
| VIP Transfer Routes | 3 Routes | Unlimited |
| Gallery Images | 5 per Vehicle | Unlimited |
| Advanced Reports | 30 Days (Max 500 rows) | Unlimited Date & Rows |
| Export Formats | CSV only | CSV, JSON |
| Messaging System | Not available | Available |
| Vendor & Payout | Not available | Available |
| REST API Access | Limited | Full REST API |
| GDPR Compliance Tools | Not available | Available |
| Email Notifications | Not available | Available |
Section Summary
- Your license is activated or deactivated in one step from the MHM Rentiva > License menu.
- A valid license is required everywhere, including local and staging sites — as of 5.0.0 there is no environment that unlocks Pro without one.
- Before moving a domain, always release the old license using the Deactivate button.
