JB License Manager for WooCommerce

JB License Manager for WooCommerce turns your WordPress + WooCommerce site into a complete software licensing server. Sell plugins, themes, SaaS tools, or any digital product and automatically deliver encrypted license keys, control which domains can use each license, and revoke access instantly — all from your own WordPress dashboard.

🔑 Core Licensing

• Automatic key generation — cryptographically random keys with customizable prefix (e.g. MYAPP-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX )

• WooCommerce auto-delivery — license key is emailed to the customer the moment an order is completed, processing, or payment confirmed

• Multi-domain activation — each license can allow 1 to unlimited domains (configured per product)

• Domain allow / disallow — admin or customer can block a specific domain without revoking the whole license

• Instant remote deactivation — when a domain is disallowed, the client plugin detects it within 15 seconds via WordPress Heartbeat and immediately locks premium features — no click required on the client site

• Expiry by months or years — set 1 Month, 3 Months, 6 Months, 1 Year, 2 Years, or any duration (1–120 months / 1–10 years)

• Status management — Active, Inactive, Suspended, Expired, Revoked

• Automatic expiry — daily cron marks licenses expired and sends reminder emails

• Domain-level encryption — activated domain names are hashed and never stored in plain text

🛒 WooCommerce Integration

• Dedicated License product tab — enable licensing per product with one click

• Set max domains, validity period, and key prefix per product

• Auto-fill license settings from product when creating a manual license

• License key shown on the order details page inside WooCommerce

• My Account → Licenses — full customer portal with all purchased licenses

• Customer can view, copy, and allow/disallow their own domains without contacting support

• Per-domain popup card showing activation date, last validated time, and IP address

🌐 REST API

Full public and admin REST API at /wp-json/jblm/v1/:

Public endpoints (license key authentication):

• POST /activate — register a domain against a license key

• POST /validate — verify a license key + domain (12-hour cached on client)

• POST /deactivate — release a domain slot

Admin endpoints (API key or logged-in admin):

• GET /licenses — list all licenses with pagination, search, status filter

• POST /licenses — create a license programmatically

• GET /licenses/{id} — get single license with activations

• PUT /licenses/{id} — update status, max_domains, expiry

• DELETE /licenses/{id} — revoke a license

• GET /licenses/{id}/activations — list all domain activations

• GET /stats — dashboard stats (total, active, expired, expiring, revoked)

📊 Admin Dashboard

• Stats cards — Total / Active / Expiring Soon / Expired / Revoked at a glance

• Filterable table — search by email or key, filter by status

• Click-to-copy license keys

• View Sites popup modal — see all activated domains per license, allow/disallow with one click, quick status change

• Domain progress bar — visual fill showing slots used vs. available

• Expiry countdown — “14d left” shown in amber when expiring soon

• Activity Logs page — last 500 events with time, license key, action, domain, IP, and result

• Settings page — key prefix, expiry reminder days, email from name/address, email subject and template, REST API key

✉️ Email Notifications

• License delivery email — sent automatically on WooCommerce order completion

• Expiry reminder email — sent N days before expiry (configurable)

• Status change email — sent when license is suspended or revoked

• Fully customizable HTML template with placeholder tags: {license_key}, {expires_at}, {max_domains}, {order_id}, {customer_email}, {site_name}, {site_url}

📤 CSV Export / Import

• Export all or filtered licenses to CSV with one click

• CSV includes: ID, License Key, Customer Email, Status, Max Domains, Active Domains, Expiry, Order ID, Product ID, Created At, Active Domain URLs

• Bulk import licenses from CSV — only customer_email required; other columns optional

• Drag-and-drop upload zone in admin

• Duplicate keys automatically skipped on import with per-row error reporting

🔒 Security

• All domain names stored as SHA-256 hashes — even database access cannot reveal which domains are activated

• Encryption secret key auto-generated on activation and stored securely in the database. Optionally define JBLM_SECRET_KEY in wp-config.php to use a custom value

• All AJAX handlers protected with wp_nonce and current_user_can() checks

• All API inputs sanitized with sanitize_text_field(), sanitize_email(), intval()

• All outputs escaped with esc_html(), esc_attr(), esc_url()

• All database queries use $wpdb->prepare() with parameterized placeholders

📦 Client SDK

php in your plugin or theme:

See Sample Plugin

php

/**

* Plugin Name: Your Plugin Name

0

*/

php into your plugin folder, then include it. // ============================================================ require_once plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ). php';

g. 'my-seo-plugin' );

// ============================================================ // STEP 3 — Register AJAX (required for Activate/Deactivate buttons) // Just copy this line as-is. Don't change anything. // ============================================================ add_action( 'plugins_loaded', function() use ( $license ) { $license->register_ajax_hooks(); });

// ============================================================ // STEP 4 — Block your premium features if license is not active // Put this check at the top of any function that has premium code. // If the license is invalid, the function will stop here. // ============================================================ function my_premium_feature() { global $license;

if (! $license->is_valid() ) { return; // ← stops here if no valid license }

'; }

// ============================================================ // STEP 5 — Show the License Key field on your settings page // Call this inside the function that renders your settings page. // It will show an input box + Activate / Deactivate buttons. // ============================================================ function my_plugin_settings_page() { global $license;

echo '<h1>My Plugin Settings</h1>';

// This one line draws the full license box — input + buttons $license->render_settings_field();

//... rest of your settings fields }

The SDK handles:

* License activation, validation (12 h cache), deactivation
