To upgrade to a new license tier you can either purchase a new license key of the required type and move each install to the new key (About > Deactivate Install, then About > Enter Key..) or alternatively contact `support at certifytheweb.com` to discuss upgrade options for an existing license key.

## Licensing through Resellers etc
Any organization can purchase a license then assign it another account while retaining control of the license key renewal. You do not need to contact us to ask to become a reseller. To get started, sign into https://dash.certifytheweb.com and purchase the license type you require, then select Assign License and enter the email address of the organization you want to accept the license. They will then be sent an invite link to accept the assigned license. They will not see the original invoice.

Note to all resellers: We *do not* offer discounted pricing for resellers, you are welcome to apply whatever pricing markup your service normally incurs but this is between you and your customer. We only offer electronic license purchases via our https://dash.certifytheweb.com and we do not accept POs or other manual invoicing. If you absolutely require information (forms etc) not listed on this page then we most likely do not provide it and your customer is welcome to engage with us directly.

**Guidance for customers with reseller assigned licenses:**
- Your license assignment link will be emailed to you. Follow the instructions to sign in (or create an account) on https://dash.certifytheweb.com and follow the "accept the license assigment" link in your email.
- Once accepted, the new license will appear on your License Keys page.
