The "Install with Key" method in AbanteCart is primarily used for two scenarios:

  1. Quick Installation of Upgrades: This method is designed for quickly installing upgrades, such as abantecart_upgrade_141. These upgrade packages are often distributed with a key to ensure quick access to the upgrade package.

  2. Installation via Marketplace (After Purchase): If your store is connected to the AbanteCart Marketplace, you can use a key provided by the Marketplace after completing a purchase. This key acts as a license and allows you to install the purchased extension. You can find this purchase key in your Marketplace Account on the "Extensions Download" page.

When developer issue a new version of the extension, a new key will be added to your marketplace account.

 

Important Notes:

  • Domain-Specific Keys: Keys are usually assigned to specific domains. If you have multiple websites, you will likely need to purchase a separate license for each site. Using a key on a different domain than the one it was purchased for will result in an error.

  • Marketplace Connection: If you see the error "Cannot upgrade or install extensions from the marketplace. This store is not authenticated/connected," it means your store is not properly connected to the AbanteCart Marketplace. You'll need to connect your store to the Marketplace before you can use keys for Marketplace purchases. Look for a "Connect to Marketplace" option in your admin panel's extension settings.

  • Upgrades: When using a key for upgrades, make sure you have backed up your store before proceeding. Upgrades can sometimes introduce changes that may require adjustments to your theme or other customizations.
