You need a product key from dxpr.com, also on the free tier.

Blocked accounts and accounts excluded from editing do not count. One email address counts once, however many sites it edits on. - **Content items**: every entity, and every translation of it, whose content type or block type shows a field with the **DXPR Builder** formatter. Items of those types count even before anyone edits them. The free tier allows one editor and 100 content items. The one editor is the first account of the site, the one created during installation. Paid tiers raise both limits; see [dxpr.com/pricing](/pricing) for the current plans. When a limit is reached, the editor does not load for the extra editors or content items, and a warning explains why. Visitors still see every published page. ## What the product key contains The product key is a JSON Web Token. It carries your DXPR account and your tier. The limits themselves come from dxpr.com: your site asks for them once a day, or every 30 minutes while that check fails. The editor also sends the key each time it loads from the DXPR CDN, so an invalid key stops the editor at once. ## Getting a product key Sign in at [dxpr.com/getting-started](/getting-started)to find your product key. The **Find your product key** link on the settings page goes there too. Then paste the key in the **License** section of [General settings](/hc/documentation/learn-dxpr-builder/admin/general-settings). ## What's next? - [Managing licences](/hc/documentation/learn-dxpr-builder/licensing/managing-licences): keep your editors within your subscription - [Licence and product key errors](/hc/documentation/learn-dxpr-builder/troubleshooting/licence-and-product-key): solve licence warnings
