+## How Licensing Works
+
+NixPanel uses a **central licensing server** at `license.nixpanel.io`. Your license is tied to your **server's public IP address**.
+
+When you install NixPanel:
+1. You enter your license key during setup
+2. The installer activates the key against `license.nixpanel.io`
+3. The panel periodically validates the license (every 24 hours)
+4. If validation fails (e.g. network issue), a **7-day grace period** applies before the panel restricts features
+
+---
+
+## Changing Your Server IP
+
+If you move NixPanel to a new server:
+
+1. Log in to [nixpanel.io/dashboard](https://nixpanel.io/dashboard)
+2. Go to **License** → **Change Server IP**
+3. Enter the new server's public IP address
+4. The change takes effect within a few minutes
+
+IP changes are limited to prevent abuse. Contact support@nixpanel.io if you need assistance.
+

+
+## Cancelling
+
+You can cancel your subscription at any time from the [billing portal](https://nixpanel.io/dashboard). Your panel will continue to work until the end of the current billing period.
+

+
+## Upgrading or Downgrading
+
+Log in to [nixpanel.io/dashboard](https://nixpanel.io/dashboard) and use the **Billing** section to switch plans. Changes take effect immediately and are prorated.
