If for whatever reason you need to connect your LiveChat plugin with a different LiveChat license, e.g., you joined forces with another website, also using the LiveChat plugin, and you want to merge your support/sales team in one license, or you signed up for a new license rather than logged in your existing one by mistake, here are the steps to do it:
