# How to Transfer a ReviewX License Key to a New Domain or Staging Site

When migrating a WooCommerce store from a local staging environment (e.g., `staging.mystore.com` or `mystore.local`) to a live production domain, or when rebranding your store under a new domain name, you need to migrate your **ReviewX License Key** so synchronization continues seamlessly.

This guide explains how to release an existing domain and re-authorize ReviewX on your new URL in under two minutes.

### Step 1: Release the Domain in the ReviewX Client Portal

1. Sign in to the [ReviewX Client Portal](https://client.reviewx.io).
2. Navigate to the **Licenses** tab in the sidebar.
3. Locate the license key assigned to your old domain.
4. In the **Connected Sites** column, locate the old URL and click the **Deactivate / Disconnect** button.
5. Confirm the prompt. The license slot is immediately freed and returns to your available inventory.

### Step 2: Connect ReviewX on the New Domain

1. Log in to the WordPress admin dashboard of your new production store.
2. Ensure the **ReviewX** plugin is installed and activated.
3. Navigate to **ReviewX → Onboarding** (or *ReviewX → Settings → License*).
4. Paste your license key (prefix `lk-...`) into the key field.
5. Click **Connect and Sync**.

### Step 3: Trigger Initial Data Synchronization
