Welcome to the SLSWC customer guide. SLSWC (Software License Server for WooCommerce) powers the software store where you purchased your plugin or theme. It handles everything from license key generation and activation to automatic updates, subscription billing, and support tickets — all integrated into your WooCommerce My Account area.
Once you purchase a software product, your account gains several new sections for managing your licenses, subscriptions, support tickets, and more.
Quick Start
Just purchased a product? Here is what to do first:
- Check your license key — Go to My Account > License Keys and locate the license generated for your order. Copy the key using the copy button.
- Download the software — Download the plugin or theme ZIP from your order confirmation email or My Account > Downloads.
- Install on your site — Upload the ZIP through Plugins > Add New > Upload (for plugins) or Appearance > Themes > Add New > Upload (for themes) in your WordPress admin.
- Activate your license — Open the plugin or theme settings and paste your license key. The software will register your domain with the license server.
- Stay up to date — With an active license, updates appear automatically in your WordPress dashboard just like any other plugin or theme.
Tip: If you manage multiple sites or prefer automated deployments, you can also install via Composer instead of manual download.

Getting Started
- Purchase a product from the store. See Product Pages for details on product types and the checkout flow.
- After checkout, your license key is generated automatically.
- Log in to My Account to view your licenses, subscriptions, and downloads.
- Activate your license from within the plugin or theme you purchased.
Warning: Keep your license key private. Anyone with your key can activate it on their own domains, which counts against your activation limit.
