Choose a payment method

You can pay with PayPal, Credit/Debit Card or Cryptocurrency. All payments are processed securely through Tebex.

While purchasing the license, you can also add Managed Hosting. With this add-on, we manage and host your server, and you don’t need to do anything beyond this step. See Managed Hosting.

Step 2: Request a license key

Join our Discord server, go to the #premium channel and click Request License. A developer will send you your license key shortly. Keep it safe, as you’ll need it later. See Get your license key for the full steps.
