This guide explains how to upgrade from IvyForms Lite to IvyForms Pro. The Pro version adds advanced fields, templates, and features that are not available in the Lite edition. Pro features remain unavailable until the Pro license is activated.
For the upgrade to work correctly, you need to install IvyForms Lite and IvyForms Pro. Both plugins must be present on the same site for Pro features to work.
IvyForms Lite is the free version of the plugin. You can install it directly from the WordPress plugin directory or download it from our website. Lite is required for the Pro version to work, so make sure it is installed first.

The Pro version of IvyForms can only be purchased on our official website at ivyforms.com. You can choose between Annual and Lifetime licenses, depending on whether you prefer recurring updates and support or a one-time purchase.
Licenses offered on third-party websites or bundled with unrelated products are usually modified or nulled copies. These versions may contain security risks, cannot receive updates, and can lead to legal issues. For your safety and access to support, always purchase IvyForms Pro directly from our website.
After completing your purchase, you will receive a confirmation email that includes everything you need to install and activate IvyForms Pro:
You can download the Pro file from the purchase confirmation email or directly from your customer account. If you prefer downloading from the store, log in and open your IvyForms license details.

The Pro version is installed just like any other WordPress plugin. Follow the installation guide here:

Remember that both plugins must be installed:

After installing both plugins, the final step is activating your Pro license. This unlocks all pro fields, templates, and features.

Once both plugins are installed and the license is activated, your site will automatically switch to the Pro feature set. Your existing forms will remain untouched, and new Pro features will be available immediately inside the form builder.
You can now start using all pro fields, templates, advanced options, and integrations included in IvyForms Pro.
