License Manager for WooCommerce Pro brings software license records and serial key inventory into a WooCommerce workflow. It is designed for digital product stores, WordPress plugin and theme developers, SaaS providers, and agencies distributing client licenses.

Product sales and license creation

Create license key generators with custom parameters for unique software license and serial key combinations, then assign each generator to one or more WooCommerce products. When an assigned product is sold, a license and serial key are created. Keys can be delivered automatically after checkout by email and through the customer’s WooCommerce account. Administrators can add license entries, manage availability and status in the dashboard, and resend delivery.

Pro tools for license processes

The Pro edition includes controls for downloads, product information, validation, subscription renewals, and external services:

• Download Expires: Generate new software license keys and serial key entries when downloaded products expire.
• Product Download Detail: Add a product version and change log to each software license.
• Customer license validation: Validate access with a customer ID or assigned serial key.
• Ping Request: Check the client-server connection and confirm software license validity.
• Subscription renewals: Issue a new key or extend the existing license and serial key when a subscription renews.
• Webhooks: Trigger external actions through real-time license events.
• QR Code Activation: Provide scannable QR codes linked to software licenses and serial keys.

Inventory, imports, and exports

The system can manage licensed product stock and serial key inventory. Administrators can generate licenses for past orders, import batches by file upload, export license records as PDF or CSV, and migrate keys from Digital License Manager or another existing key manager.

Customer access and administration

Customers can view license keys and serial key information in the WooCommerce My Account area, activate or deactivate software license keys, monitor serial key usage, and download software license certificates. Administrators can add a company logo to certificates and manually resend key delivery.

From the dashboard, administrators can manage license statuses, license lifecycles, and serial key usage. The REST API works with license validation, activation, and deactivation for connected applications, add-ons, and external services.

Data handling

License key and software license records are stored with encryption. Administrators can conceal or partially mask serial key values, export records for administrative workflows, and use bulk tools to manage larger batches.

Installation and setup

Install License Manager for WooCommerce Pro on the WordPress site running WooCommerce. Create or import license records, configure generators, and assign them to the relevant digital products. Then review delivery, customer account, API, subscription, webhook, and activation settings to fit the store’s license workflow.
