License Check¶

Before starting any migration, the panel automatically verifies that the license has sufficient capacity. Each WordPress installation is counted as a full website.

Import Denied

If the import would exceed the license limit, the migration is rejected with a 402 error. The error message shows how many websites currently exist, how many would be imported, and what the limit is.

The check applies to:

Migrate All — Total number of sites in the plan
Single Customer — Sites belonging to that customer
Single Item — 1 site (for site migration) or all customer sites (for customer migration)

Import Progress¶

After starting the migration, progress is displayed in real time:

Status per Object¶

Status	Meaning

running	Currently being migrated
done	Successfully migrated
error	Error during migration
skipped	Skipped

Progress Display¶

Overall Progress — Percentage of migrated objects
Per Object Type — Progress for customers, sites, mailboxes, etc.
Error Details — Details are shown for failed objects
