How to install your NextGEN license
NextGEN Pro, NextGEN Plus, and NextGEN Starter are premium NextGEN license plugins for NextGEN Gallery.
NextGEN Gallery is required to run NextGEN Plus, Pro, or Starter.
What is the difference between NextGEN Gallery Pro and Plus?
NextGEN Plus has all the same gallery features as NextGEN Pro minus eCommerce. Some users want all the beautiful premium gallery displays but do not require eCommerce. This is why we provide the NextGEN Plus option.
