Every Feature Built to Run WooCommerce Licenses Easily
Generate, deliver, protect, and track WooCommerce software licenses automatically. Every feature you see below works for your store. No custom code, no workarounds.
Complete License Management Solution
From generation to activation, we’ve got you covered with enterprise-grade features
Obscure Licenses
Hide license keys in the admin dashboard by default. Reveal the plain-text key only when the Show button is clicked.
Allow Duplicates
Skip the duplicate check when adding license keys to the database. Add the same key more than once when your workflow calls for it.
Product Downloads
Enter a changelog and product version straight from the settings screen. Keep customers informed about what’s new in every release.
Download Expiration
Control whether customers can keep downloading digital or virtual products after their license expires. Lock down access the moment a license lapses.
QR Codes
Instant license key access through scannable QR codes. Copy the key or activate it directly by scanning; no manual entry needed. Includes a dedicated activation shortcode for front-end pages.
License Expiration Format
Customize how the license expiry date and time are displayed on Order and My Account pages. Match the format to your brand and audience.
Grace Period
Set a renewal window before renewable license keys expire, in days, weeks, months, or years. Give customers extra time to renew before losing access.
REST API & SSL Integration
Control whether the REST API can be accessed over insecure HTTP or requires HTTPS. Enable or disable individual API routes for tighter security.
REST API Keys
Create a new REST API key pair with read, write, or read/write permissions. Assign keys to specific users for scoped, auditable access.
Webhooks
Automate license operations with event-based webhooks. Get real-time notifications for license creation, activation, update, and deletion. Sync license data automatically with third-party systems.
Rate Limiting
Limit the number of API requests allowed per consumer key or IP address. Block specific IPs that abuse your endpoints.
Traceback Logs
Get comprehensive visibility into API operations with dedicated Activity, Exception, and Output logs. Every log viewable in one click.
Automatic Delivery
Automatically deliver license keys once the order status triggers delivery. Or disable it to manually review orders before sending keys out.
Terminated Status
Eliminate manual revocation of license keys. Automatically invalidate license keys when an order’s status changes to Refunded, Cancelled, or Failed.
Stock Management
Keep your product stock automatically in sync as license keys are sold, activated, or deactivated. Enable stock management from the product’s Inventory tab.
Branding – Company Logo
Upload your company logo to appear on the License Certificate customers download. Reinforce your brand on every piece of paperwork.
My Account – License Keys Tab
Give customers a dedicated License Keys tab on their WooCommerce My Account page. Show their keys, activation status, and history in one place.
User Activation / Deactivation
Let customers activate and deactivate their own license keys right from My Account. No support ticket required for routine license management.
Enable Certificates
Let customers download a license certificate for proof of purchase and ownership. One click from My Account generates a polished PDF.
Subscription Support
Sell subscription-based products with license keys attached, using Simple or Variable Subscriptions. Custom renewal intervals available beyond the standard billing cycle.
Database Migration
Migrate license keys from the Digital License Manager plugin in a single click. A clean, guided switch with no manual data wrangling.
Past Orders License Generator
Generate licenses for past orders that don’t currently have one assigned. Pick a generator and process every unlicensed order in bulk.
AppSumo Integration
Simplify licensing and activation for products sold through AppSumo. Connect webhook, OAuth, and API credentials directly from your AppSumo Partner Portal.
Analytics Reports
Get a full breakdown of licensing metrics: applications, licenses sold, expired licenses, activations, and more. See exactly which products are driving revenue.
License Manager Dashboard
A modern, real-time hub for revenue, orders, activations, and customer activity. Track licenses created vs. activated with bar or line charts.
Live Activity Feed
A real-time event log of installs, license updates, activations, and application changes. Every entry is timestamped and sourced (System or User).
Bulk Import
Import license keys in bulk via CSV/TXT file or straight from your clipboard. Review and configure the import before it runs.
License Generation & Distribution
Create and deliver licenses effortlessly, individually or in bulk batches. Custom key pattern generator with CSV/PDF import and export. Auto-delivery straight through the WooCommerce order email.
Generators
Set up a generator once and it creates and delivers a unique license key every time that product sells. Fully automated, product by product.
Activation Management
Track every activation across your customer base from one dashboard. Monitor active vs. deactivated slots, device labels, tokens, IPs, and timestamps. Suspend or revoke any single activation instantly.
Applications
Sell WordPress plugins, themes, SaaS products, or desktop software as a licensed application. Attach a generator so keys deliver automatically on purchase.
License Manager SDK
Integrate license activation into your app with minimal setup, WordPress and SaaS PHP SDKs available. The SDK handles activation, validation, and server communication automatically.
Installed On
Track every customer website where your licensed product is installed and active. See last-ping timestamps to confirm a site is still connected.
API Logs
A full audit trail of every REST API request hit against your License Manager. See source IP, country, user, method, endpoint, and timestamp per call.
WooCommerce Products & Orders Integration
Sell license keys tied to Simple or Variable WooCommerce products natively. Control exact delivery timing by order status.
Custom Request Validation
Add and validate custom parameters like a UUID on any activation request via filter hooks. Reject requests that fail your own business rules.
Modify Response Data
Hook into the API response pipeline to add, remove, or reshape returned data. Store custom activation objects (like client IP or proxy info) in license meta.
