As default, when order completed (or pending) the plugin generate a licence key or extract one from the pre-defined list of keys. This is a common set-up for the majority of sites which is very easy to achieve through the WP Software License plugin.

The dashboard licence interface display all licence keys available for all customers on the site. This is the place where the admin can easily manage keys. As default the interface include the following columns:

• Order ID
• Key / Licence Status

• Customer
• Licence Group
• Licence Key
• Expire
• Key Date
• Active Domain
• Actions

When creating new order either through admin or customer check-out, the licensing information is being created for each product and saved as WooCommerce order item meta field. The licensing details are used later when interacting with API or displaying detailed information about licence, like customer account. (more…)

Licence Keys is a reliable tool to maintain control over code install, maintenance and update. As default, on key activation, a unique client id ( usually the domain name) is assigned to the key. This is being used further to allow API interaction like updates.

Licensing expiration can apply to any licence, the set-up is very easy complete, and it’s been described at Create expiration for license product. A time range availability is set for an expiring licence, meaning after predefined end date the keys will go offline. (more…)

A list of Predefined Keys can be used to assign existing keys to customers orders. These keys are pre filled and not being generated on the fly.
In specific scenarios, such keys are required to be used more that once, so they are not intended to be used as unique id’s. This can be achieved easily using dynamic tag along with the actual key text.

A regular key would appear like this:

D74DE8F47A4756F9CDC2A23519CF7

To make such key dynamic, to be used more than once, the following tag should be append on front of key content:

{15}D74DE8F47A4756F9CDC2A23519CF7

The integer within the brackets, is the number of times the key will be used and assigned to customers, in this particular example it means 15 times. On every new key assignment, the number will be reduced accordingly and saved within the list. So at a given moment there will be a clear status on the unassigned number of keys.
