How does it work?
It only takes a few minutes to create software license enabled products as a store admin. Integrating the license system into your products can be achieved with just a few lines of code. The license key is added to the order item automatically after the customer has made a purchase. Customers can then install and quickly activate their product to receive updates when you release them.
Flexible Licensing Options
There are various licensing options available with the License Server.
- Single Site licenses – License key(s) activated on a single site only.
- Multi-site licenses – License key(s) activated on multiple sites.
- Staging site licenses – Licenses key(s) activated on staging sites.
- Multiple license types are available, including monthly, quarterly or annual. Define custom license types to extend your capabilities.\
Easy License Management
License management is straight forward with a dedicated license management screen with the admin area. View and edit licenses, manually add or remove domains from a license and more. Generate licenses manually, or expire licenses manually.
License keys are generated automatically based on specific product details and automatically expire at the end of their license type period. Licenses can be extended after they expire to allow customers to continue to use the same license key after each license interval.
Multiple Product Types Supported
Support for both Simple and Variable products comes standard with the License Server. Various product types allow a range of options when configuring your products for sale. Extend your products and provide multiple license types, including monthly, annual or lifetime.
With seamless support for WooCommerce Subscriptions, you can enable automatic renewals and payments, reducing your workload and increasing your recurring revenue. You can offer a range of subscription lengths from daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually.
Safe and Secure
The License Server provides software update URLs that can obfuscate the download link to ensure secure downloads that cannot be shared. Customers must have a valid account to download the product from your site. Advanced logging can be enabled, providing metrics related to domains activated.
