Background of the issue:
I am trying to activate a site key again after moving a development website to a live website. The live website already had a valid site key that was transferred from my account to my customer's account.

Symptoms:
After moving the development website to a live website, I'm getting a notification that the development website has gone live and I need to change its site key. I have the site key from my customer, but I don't see anywhere where I can change the site key.

Questions:
How can I change the site key after moving a development website to a live website?
Where can I enter the new site key provided by my customer?

Thank you Bruno, that worked! I saw that option but I was afraid I would lose all translations when I would unregister the site.

thanks for your help.
