Using a license code

When you purchase Classcraft on shop.classcraft.com, you'll receive your license in the form of a code. You may also receive a special license code during events or conferences. A license code enables you to unlock Premium features for a set period of time. It’s made up of letters and numbers and has the following form: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

To claim your license code:

  1. Click on your profile icon
  2. Select My Profile
  3. Click on Enter a license code on the lefthand side panel
  4. Enter your license code in the text field
  5. Click Activate

If you have a currently active Premium license, you won’t be able to enter a new license code. You can choose to transfer your license code to another teacher or wait until your current subscription runs out.

If you have any questions, contact support@classcraft.com.

Canceling your Premium subscription

You can cancel your subscription anytime from your account profile. Click View renewal options on the lefthand side of the screen, next to the renewal date of your subscription. This option won’t be available if you currently have a plan with no renewal option, such as if you used a license code.

To cancel your plan click on the Unsubscribe button in the Renewal Options.

Unsubscribing from Premium does not delete your content (such as Boss Battles and Quests). If you subscribe to Premium again at a later date, you’ll be able to resume using your content normally.

Note: You won’t be reimbursed for the remaining time you have paid for but your account will remain Premium until your subscription expires.
