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

Problem:
How to disable or change the WPML registration key after migrating a site to a new domain.
Solution:
If you're experiencing issues after migrating your site to a new domain and need to update your WPML registration key, we recommend the following steps:
1. Visit WPML.org > Account > Sites and remove the old key that you were using on the other domain.
2. Generate a new key for the new domain.
3. Go to your WordPress backend, navigate to Plugins > Add New > Commercial, and register WPML with the new key. You may need to click "Unregister" first if the option is available.

If you continue to see a notice regarding the key, it could be due to caching on your site or server/CDN. In this case:
- Contact your hosting support to clear the server cache.
- Clear the site cache using any caching plugin you have installed.

Please note that the solution provided might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case. If the issue persists, we highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If you still need assistance, please open a new support ticket.

Hi there.

After you migrate your site to the new domain, you will just need to go to WPML.org > Account > Sites (https://wpml.org/account/sites) > remove the old key (dev key) that you were using on the other domain, and generate a new key for the new domain (production key).

After that, go back to the newly migrated website backend > Plugins > Add new > Commercial and register WPML with the new key (you might need to click "Unregister" first).

Sometimes, even after following the steps I mentioned above, you might still see that notice due to existing caching on the site or on the server/CDN (if used).

To clear the server cache, you would need to reach the hosting support.

To clear the site cache, please make sure that you clear/remove it from any existing caching plugin that you might have installed on the site.

I hope that you will find this information helpful!

Kind regards,
