1. Purchase licenses at SiteKiosk.com
-
Visit sitekiosk.com where you purchase licenses for your SiteKiosk Online Management Portal.
-
After purchase, you receive a license key via email that you will activate in your account.
2. Log in to the SiteKiosk Online Management Portal
-
Go to us.sitekiosk.online (or your regional portal).
-
Log in to your existing SiteKiosk Online account.
3. Open the Licensing tab
-
From the main dashboard, click Team menu.
-
At the top of the Team page, click the Licensing tab.
-
View your current licenses (for example, one for 22 devices ending July 2026, another for 1 device ending January 2027 in the video above).
4. Extend an existing license key
-
Locate the license you want to extend (the one closest to expiring).
-
Do NOT use “Activate license key”. That creates a separate license.
-
In that license row, click Extend with Key.
-
Paste your new license key into the field.
-
Confirm the preview shows the correct new end date (one year extension).
-
Click to extend. Page refreshes and shows the updated end date.
5. Activate a new license key
-
To add completely new capacity, click Activate at the top.
-
Paste the new license key and confirm.
-
Total licenses increase (from video example, from 23 to 27 devices).
-
New license appears with its own end date (for example, 4 devices until February 2027).
-
Refresh the page if needed to see the update.
6. Merge or Co-term multiple licenses into one
-
When you have licenses with different end dates, use Merge Licenses for volume discounts and single renewals.
-
Click Merge Licenses button. Checkboxes appear next to each license.
-
Check all licenses you want to combine (skip non-client licenses like Public Web Access).
-
Click Merge Selected Licenses to preview.
-
Preview shows total devices (for example, 28) and unified end date (September 2026 based on earliest expiration).
-
Confirm the merge. Page refreshes with one combined license.
7. Activate additional licenses (repeat as needed)
-
Activate more new keys using the Activate button.
-
Each adds to your total available licenses (for example, reaching 36 total, 10 used, 26 unused).
8. Merge again for unified renewal dates
-
With new licenses added, repeat the merge process.
-
Select all mergeable licenses, preview (for example, 36 total ending October 2026).
-
Merge to consolidate everything to one end date for annual renewal.
These steps ensure you properly activate or merge licenses in SiteKiosk Online without creating overlapping or unused licenses.
