To start working with the VikAppointments plugin, you will first need to install the VikAppointments Lite plugin from the WordPress Plugins Repository. The Lite version of VikAppointments is a limited version, that contains only some functionalities of the complete plugin. It is entirely free, available to download in the WordPress Plugins Repository. The Lite version contains only a couple of widgets. After you have installed it from the repository, you will need to enable the plugin from your Plugins view:

Activate Plugin - WordPress

After you have enabled the plugin, a new VikAppointments menu item should appear in the side menu. Clicking on it will display the VikAppointments Dashboard. You're all set to start working with VikAppointments Lite. However, if you wish to start using the PRO version, you will need to click the Upgrade to PRO green button on the top-right side of the VikAppointments menu.

Upgrate to PRO - VikAppointments WordPress

This will display a page with all the advantages of switching to PRO. At the bottom of the page you will find an input field to insert your License Key, which you can purchase on this website.

VikAppointments Pro upgrade with licence - WordPress

After you have inserted your key, you should click the Validate and Install button and, in case it gets validated successfully, the plugin will automatically install the PRO settings to enable all the features. The existing configuration and contents won't be replaced or removed. Visiting the Upgrade to PRO page again will display a message that shows that you are now using the PRO version. The Upgrade to PRO button should now display PRO Version.

You're now ready to work with VikAppointments PRO! Once you have switched to PRO you will also see in the WordPress Widgets page all the available VikAppointments widgets.
