For Developer
C SDK
The Ultimate C Licensing Engine for SaaS, Desktop, and Custom Software. Stop building custom Licensing APIs. This framework-agnostic SDK is the native C bridge between your application and your License Manager for WooCommerce (Pro) backend.
🚀 Accelerate Your Software Monetization
If you are building a SaaS, desktop application, or custom software, your focus should be on your product—not building complex REST API integrations for licensing.
This SDK provides native C access to the License Manager for WooCommerce (Pro) ecosystem. Integrate robust activation, validation, update, and download management into your software in minutes.
🛡️ Why Choose This SDK?
- Zero API Manual Coding: REST endpoints are mapped to simple C functions.
- Framework Agnostic: C11, libcurl, and cJSON work with desktop, embedded, server-side, or standalone applications.
- Secure Client API: Distributed applications can use the public API without shipping WooCommerce consumer secrets.
- Enterprise Ready: Designed for license management and multi-tier SaaS fulfillment.

📦 3-Minute Developer Quick Start
Step 1: Install the C toolchain
Install a C11 compiler, CMake 3.16+, libcurl, and Git. On Windows, Visual Studio with Desktop development with C++ and C++ CMake tools for Windows is recommended. cJSON is downloaded automatically by CMake.
Step 2: Build the SDK
Add the SDK to your project:
add_subdirectory(path/to/lmw-sdk-c) target_link_libraries(your_app PRIVATE lmfwc)
The static library target is lmfwc, and public headers are under include/lmfwc/.
Alternatively, clone and build it on Windows:
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_ORG/lmw-sdk-c.git cd lmw-sdk-c copy clean-rebuild.bat.example clean-rebuild.bat clean-rebuild.bat
Step 3: Initialize the client
Require the public header and initialize the client:
#include "lmfwc/lmfwc.h"
#include <stdlib.h>
lmfwc_error err;
lmfwc_error_init(&err);
lmfwc_client* client = lmfwc_client_create(
getenv("LMW_STORE_URL"),
getenv("LMW_CONSUMER_KEY"),
getenv("LMW_CONSUMER_SECRET"),
120
);
4. Basic Activation Pattern
cJSON* result = lmfwc_licenses_activate(
client,
"ABCD-1234-EFGH-5678",
NULL,
&err
);
if (!result) {
printf("Error: %s\n", err.message ? err.message : "unknown");
} else {
/* Store the activation token from result for future validation. */
cJSON_Delete(result);
}
lmfwc_error_clear(&err);
lmfwc_client_destroy(client);
Successful API calls return cJSON*; free responses with cJSON_Delete(). On failure, the function returns NULL and populates lmfwc_error.
🏗️ Application Integration
Server-side and Trusted Applications
Use the Pro REST API with WooCommerce consumer_key and consumer_secret credentials stored in environment variables, encrypted configuration, or a secrets manager.
Desktop, Mobile, and Distributed Software
Use the separate public client API with the product public key. Never ship the WooCommerce consumer secret in end-user software.
lmfwc_public_client* pub =
lmfwc_public_client_create("https://your-store.com", 30);
cJSON* body = cJSON_CreateObject();
cJSON_AddStringToObject(body, "public_key", "YOUR_PRODUCT_PUBLIC_KEY");
cJSON_AddStringToObject(body, "license_key", "ABCD-1234-EFGH-5678");
cJSON_AddStringToObject(body, "domain", "my-app.example.com");
cJSON* result = lmfwc_public_validate(pub, body, &err);
