Start with the three access types
Drecha WordPress plugins use three clear access types:
- Free: no license key, Drecha account, expiry, or mandatory Drecha service.
- 7-day Pro trial: a temporary evaluation license for one registered website, with no payment details required.
- Paid Pro: one payment for permanent use of the purchased version on one production website. It is not a subscription and has no mandatory renewal.
Drecha Forms Free and Drecha Events & Bookings Free keep ordinary form, event, appointment, and booking work on your WordPress website. Installing Free does not start a trial and never requires a license key.
Use Free without registering
Install the Free plugin through WordPress.org or from its verified Free ZIP. Once active, its included features continue working without a Drecha account, license validation request, usage quota, or expiry date.
Free and Pro are separate plugins. Pro extends its required Free core; it does not replace it. Keep Free installed and active when you later add Pro.
Start a 7-day Pro trial
A trial is for evaluation, not production use. Trial notices remain visible in WordPress administration and on the public website.
- Open the Drecha product page and select Start 7-day trial.
- Enter your name and email address.
- Enter the full WordPress website URL, including https://.
- Confirm that the trial is for testing and expires after no more than seven days.
- Select Start free trial.
- On the confirmation page, copy the license key and create a secure download.
- Install Pro beside Free, then activate the key from the plugin's License screen.

The confirmation page and trial email show the exact expiry time. The trial is issued once per plugin when either the email address or the website has not already received that plugin's trial. Using a different email for the same website, or a different website with the same email, does not create another trial.

A trial is tied to the website URL submitted on the form. It cannot be reassigned to another production domain. Start it on the test site you intend to evaluate.
Buy a one-time Pro license
When the product checkout is available, one completed purchase creates one paid license with a production activation limit of one.
The paid license provides:
- Permanent use of the version you purchased on its licensed website.
- No recurring charge, annual renewal, or mandatory SaaS subscription.
- Updates without a renewal fee while Drecha continues to maintain the product.
- Access to the protected Pro ZIP and eligible future releases while the license is usable.
“Lifetime” describes the maintained life of the product and the right to keep using the purchased version. It is not a promise of perpetual development or perpetual support. Check the product page for the current purchase price and availability; Drecha Forms Pro is positioned at $69 USD once per website.
Understand the one-website restriction
One paid license permits one active production website. Before moving to a replacement domain, release the old production activation in WordPress or the customer portal, then activate the new site.
Recognized local development URLs do not consume the production activation. The licensing service currently recognizes localhost, hosts ending in .local, .test, or .localhost, and private or reserved IP addresses. A public remote staging domain is not automatically exempt and can count as the production activation.
Local and staging use is intended for development and testing associated with the licensed production website. Do not share a key, protected ZIP, or activation with an unrelated customer site.
What happens when access ends
- Free: there is no license expiry.
- Trial: Pro access stops after the displayed seven-day expiry time. Free functionality and stored customer data remain.
- Paid: the license itself does not expire. A refund or license revocation makes protected downloads, activations, and updates unavailable. Existing customer content is not remotely deleted.
- Pro deactivation: Free remains active and premium configuration stays stored for possible later reactivation.
Troubleshoot your choice
The trial form says a trial was already issued
That email address or website has already received a trial for this plugin. Use the existing trial from its email or verified customer account, or purchase Pro. Trials are not reset by uninstalling WordPress plugins.
The product has no purchase or trial button
Checkout and trial routes are available only when the product is published and marked available. Do not send payment outside the displayed Drecha checkout. Return to the product page after release verification or use Free meanwhile.
A public staging site uses the only activation
Release that activation before activating production. For future development, use a recognized local/private URL or confirm the licensing arrangement before assigning a public staging hostname.
Pro expires but Free appears intact
That is expected after a trial ends. Keep the Free core active. Buy and activate a separate paid key when you are ready to restore Pro editing and services.
