 * Sometimes we just make a copy of a WordPress website. But this causes the Wordfence
   license key to be duplicated on multiple websites. How can we reset the Wordfence
   license key so that each website has its own key?

 * Hi [@hackedunit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hackedunit/), thanks for
   getting in touch.
 * When Wordfence is activated it should seek a license from our servers, but with
   a cloned site, that key may remain from the origin. To prevent problems going
   forward, we recommend following the instructions to [remove/reset](https://www.wordfence.com/help/advanced/remove-or-reset/)
   the plugin to obtain a fresh key.
 * Thanks,
 * Peter.
