# How to Upgrade Your Ultimate Blocks License

To upgrade your Ultimate Blocks Pro license, for example from Starter (1 site) to Pro (unlimited sites), go to the [pricing page](https://ultimateblocks.com/pricing/), choose the new plan, and enter your existing license key at checkout. You only pay the difference for the time left on your current license.

## What you need

- Your current Ultimate Blocks Pro license key. See [How to find your license key](https://ultimateblocks.com/docs/find-your-license-key-and-manage-your-account/).
- A payment method for the price difference.

### Step 1: Choose the new plan

Go to the [Ultimate Blocks pricing page](https://ultimateblocks.com/pricing/) and click the button under the plan you want. In the checkout popup, click the option to enter a license key. A box opens where you can paste the license key you already have.

### Step 2: Enter your license key and pick the plan

1. Paste your current license key into the box.
2. Next to the box, choose the plan you want to upgrade to.
3. Fill in your billing details.
4. Click **Review Order** and complete the payment.

### Step 3: Check the upgraded license

Your license is upgraded right away, and you keep the same license key. You do not need to reinstall the plugin. If your site does not show the new plan yet, go to **Ultimate Blocks > Account** in WordPress and refresh the page.

If you upgrade partway through your billing period, the cost is prorated: the checkout takes off the unused value of your current license, so you only pay for the remaining period. The screenshot below shows a prorated upgrade charge.

## Upgrade from inside WordPress

You can also start an upgrade from your dashboard. Go to **Ultimate Blocks > Account** and click **Upgrade** or **Change Plan**. This opens the same checkout with your license already filled in.

**Not sure which plan you need?** Starter covers 1 website. Pro covers unlimited websites. Both come with all 29 blocks and every Pro feature, and both are available yearly or as a one-time lifetime payment. See [Ultimate Blocks free vs Pro](https://ultimateblocks.com/docs/ultimate-blocks-free-vs-pro/).

## Frequently asked questions

**Do I get a new license key when I upgrade?**

No. Your existing license key is upgraded to the new plan, so you keep using the same key.

**Do I pay the full price when I upgrade my Ultimate Blocks license?**

No. The upgrade is prorated, so the unused value of your current license is taken off the price.

**Can I upgrade from a yearly plan to a lifetime plan?**

Lifetime plans are available for both Starter and Pro. To move an existing yearly license to lifetime, contact the Ultimate Blocks team through the contact page and they will help you.

**Is the upgrade covered by the money-back guarantee?**

Every Ultimate Blocks plan has a 30-day money-back guarantee. Contact support through the contact page if you have questions about a refund.
