Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity.

Overview

About this plugin

License Keys for WooCommerce is a simple and powerfull license keys manager, that adds a new product type to your WordPress and WooCommerce setup, and lets you create and handle license keys that can be used to validate your licensed products.

Built-in API

This plugin will enable your WordPress to act as a validator API (service) with endpoints that will let you activate, validate and deactivate license keys via HTTP requests; we provide various solutions (as PHP libraries, packages and documentation) to integrate the API with your products.

License Keys

License Keys will be generated automatically when a WooCommerce order is completed, the code is appended in the “Order completed” email notification sent by WooCommerce. Each License Key data is generated per product configuration. The License Key product type will add a new options tab that will allow you to:

  • Expire options: Set the expiration of a license key.
  • Virtual: Check the virtual checkbox to set the product as physical or virtual.
  • Downloadable: Check the downloadable checkbox to append downloadable files to the product.

You can customize this plugin and add more options by your own, or purchase our extension that will allow you to:

  • Limit options: Set the limitation of a license key (per number of activations, per domain), and unlimit on development environments.
  • Offline options: Set offline options to allow a product to run when not connected to the internet.
  • Downloadable data: Set to append the downloadable data on API responses, to allow automatic updates.

Customer account pages

License Keys for WooCommerce will add management pages to WooCommerce “My Account” section to allow license keys to be self-managed by users; these pages will allow them to view purchased licenses and license key activations.

Aside from the API endpoint, customers will be able to deactivate their licenses at these pages.

Admin management

License keys can be searched by admins at the “Orders” section of WooCommerce, details (such as the customer’s license key code, expiration date and the number of activations) can be reviewed when viewing and editing an order.

Product integration

We offer an SDK, software libraries and documentation to implement easily the API’s integration in your products.

Customization

We have built this plugin with customization in mind. We have placed WordPress hooks all over the source code, making it flexible to be customized or extended. All HTML templates can also be modified in themes.

Paid extension

If you don’t wish to customize this your self, we offer the option to add an extension that will expand its capabilities with the following features:

  • Additional product options for the License Key product type.
  • Product variable and price variations support.
