Are you considering moving from the free version of Easy WP SMTP to a paid license? Upgrading to Easy WP SMTP Pro unlocks additional features, more mailer choices, and exclusive support access.
This guide will walk you through the process of upgrading from the free version to Easy WP SMTP Pro.
Purchasing an Easy WP SMTP License
To begin, visit our Upgrade page. This page will display all features available with each license level so that you can determine which license is the best fit.
When you’ve determined which license has the features you’d like, you can click the Get Started button to begin the checkout process.
Currently, a 50% off discount is automatically applied for the first year of all new licenses. Within the checkout, the discount code should already be in place for you.
The last step is to enter your payment details and create a Easy WP SMTP account. Your account will provide access to the paid plugin download, so you’ll need this a little later in this tutorial.
When all of the fields are complete, click the Complete Checkout button to complete the order.
You will immediately be sent an email receipt of your purchase, delivered to the email address you use to create your Easy WP SMTP account.

Within your site’s admin area, navigate to Easy WP SMTP » Settings to open up your Easy WP SMTP settings. Then, within the License Key field, paste the license key you just copied.
Then, go ahead and click the Connect button.
