Hello @lukew,
Please be aware that a single license is valid for only one live URL, as per Envato’s policy. This applies to all themes on ThemeForest, so you may want to verify this directly with Envato.
Regarding the use of the license on a test site, please refer to the guidelines in our theme documentation here: [Theme Registration Instructions]( https://www.portotheme.com/wordpress/porto/documentation/how-to-register-porto/ ).
Alternatively, for your specific query about using the license on a test or local site, please follow these steps:
1. Install the theme on the test/local site.
2. Register the theme with the purchase code on the test/local site.
3. Use the test/local site.
Before migrating the test/local site to the live site or using the license on a fresh WordPress installation for the live site, you must deregister the license from the test/local site by navigating to *Porto >> Theme License*.
Afterwards:
1. Migrate the test/local site to the live/final site or install the theme on a fresh WordPress installation for the live site.
2. Register the theme again on the live site using the same purchase code.
This process should work as intended.
Best regards,
PThemes Team
