This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are trying to move 2,000 credits from your development site to your production site and are encountering issues. Additionally, you are seeing that your production site appears inactive despite being registered.
Solution:
The 2,000 credits on your development site are complimentary and cannot be transferred to another site. For purchased credits, you can freely move and use them across your WPML account and connected sites. To share credits between your development and production sites, the best approach is to connect both sites under the same organization or move credits within your WPML.org account.

How can I efficiently move credits between my dev and prd (live) sites? Right now, the DEV site (hidden link) has 2,000 credits that we'd like to use on the PRD site (hidden link). However, we are likely going to enable pay-as-you-go or purchase more credits soon for a phase 2 expansion of our Spanish site and will need to move credits back to the dev site at that time. Is there a way we can easily connect these two? I've tried transferring credits from dev to WPML and received the following message (see screenshot).

I provided a second screenshot for a related question: why does it show that our PRD site is inactive, even though it says it's already registered under the key '01b7fbcc5a'?

Hi,

Thanks for your question.

The 2,000 credits you see on your dev site are complimentary credits provided upon registration, and those cannot be transferred to another site.

For purchased credits, you can freely move and use them across your WPML account and connected sites. Note you can assign credits and pay as you go at same time on same website.

If you want to share credits between dev and production, the best approach is to connect both sites under same organization or move credits inside WPML.org account.
