# Installing Popup Maker Pro and Pro+ (addons)

This guide covers two installation methods for installing [Popup Maker Pro and Pro+](https://wppopupmaker.com/pricing/).

1. Paste your Popup Maker Pro license key and let WordPress do the rest.
2. Manually upload the Pro ZIP file that you can download from your Popup Maker account.

We'll walk you through each process step-by-step. After the installation steps, we'll go over how to install your Pro+ addons.

**Note**: Before we begin, make sure you have the free version of Popup Maker already installed on your WordPress site. If not, please refer to [the installation guide for the free version](https://wppopupmaker.com/docs/getting-started/install-and-activate/) first.

Having Popup Maker Free installed is essential as the Pro and Pro+ versions build upon its core functionality. Once that's ready, you have two main ways to get Pro running.

The first method, which we recommend for its simplicity, involves pasting your license key and letting WordPress handle the installation automatically. The first method takes about two minutes.

## **Installing Pro+ Addons**

If you have Pro+, you'll first install Pro using either method above. Then you can install your specialized [Pro+ addons like Ecommerce Popups or LMS Popups](https://wppopupmaker.com/pricing/).

Here are the steps to install your Pro+ addons.

**Step 1.** Again, head to [https://wppopupmaker.com/account/](https://wppopupmaker.com/account/) and click **File Downloads**.

**Step 2.** Download the specific Pro+ addon ZIP files you have, such as popup-maker-ecommerce-popups.zip or popup-maker-lms-popups.zip.

**Step 3.** Go to **Plugins** > **Add New** > **Upload Plugin** in your WordPress admin. Upload each Pro+ addon zip file individually and then activate them. It's crucial that Pro is active before you activate any Pro+ addons.
