Template Guard is built for XenForo administrators and add-on developers who need to know whether template modifications are still safe before an upgrade reaches production. It evaluates enabled modifications locally, simulates execution order, distinguishes master-template matches from chain-time breakage, maps conflicts, keeps before-update baselines and records…

License, updates & privacy

License

  • 1 XenForo installation per 1-site license
  • The installed eligible version keeps working if the update term expires
  • A license key is used for activation and update entitlement, not to gate local scanning

Updates

  • Includes 1 year of product updates from purchase
  • An expired update term does not disable the installed version
  • Renewal is required only for newer eligible releases and active update entitlement

Support

  • Email/support-channel assistance during an active update term
  • Support covers Template Guard behavior and reproducible product issues; third-party template conflicts remain diagnostic findings, not automatic repairs

Privacy

  • Template scans and template source remain local to XenForo
  • License actions contact Lemon Squeezy only when activation, validation or deactivation is requested
  • Update-feed checks request PRBLEM release metadata; they do not upload template source, license keys or scan reports
