This is a WooCommerce License Delivery plugin for stores that sell products that require a license key, like software, games, gift cards, or any other products that need a license key delivered after purchase.

The license keys support extra details that can be left empty if not needed, like an Expiration Date or a Validity(The number of days the license key is valid for)

The License Key text field support Multi line text and HTML code, so you can make the license key appear as a clickable link in emails, for example.

 

Import the license keys from a .txt or .csv and select the product to assign them to using this form.

License key Delivery

After purchase, your customer will receive an email that contains the bought products and the assigned license keys.

Purchased license keys can also be seen in the user account page in the order history for the customers and in the WooCommerce order page for the admin.

License keys Management

So that you can keep track of your license keys, the plugin provides a detailed interface with all your license keys and their status after purchase, more details like the buyer’s name and email address are added to the license key.

Image License Keys

You can add images to be delivered as license keys. For example, if you want to deliver your license keys as QR codes or for any other reason you want to deliver an image, you can easily add the image as a license key, and it will be delivered like a normal license key.

Resend License keys

You can manually resend the license keys email from the WooCommerce order page.

Reassign License Keys

You can replace or delete the license keys assigned to orders after a purchase.

WooCommerce Product Variation support

You can assign a different set of license keys for each variation.

Notifications

So that you don’t lose track of your license key sales, the plugin provides a notification center that will alert the admin to add more license keys for products about to be sold out. The minimum number of available license keys can be set on the plugin settings page before getting notifications.

There are 2 types of notifications, alerts in the admin dashboard and emails sent to the admin.

Email Templates

You can customize the license keys email using multiple shortcodes like a buyer’s first and last name, email address, site URL, and much more.

Encryption

License keys are encrypted using 2 secret keys that you can set on the plugin setting page before they are stored in the database to protect your license key from being stolen if something happens to your website

Import/Export

Export the license keys for a certain status and a certain product, or export all the license keys to a CSV file. for example, export all the sold or all the available license keys for a product

Export license key generator settings.

Export plugin settings: If you are running multiple websites, you won’t need to configure the plugin for each website individually, export the settings, and import them on the other websites.

Exported license keys and license key generator settings can be imported again so you can back up your data.

Edit/Delete

You can edit the license keys in the admin dashboard.

Bulk delete/change

You can delete or change the status of multiple license keys at the same time.

Third Party Plugins Support

WooCommerce Product Bundles: You can license the products in a bundle individually or license the whole bundle

WooCommerce Custom Order Status: This plugin supports all order statuses, even the custom ones added by third-party plugins

License Key Generator

Licensing your digital product has never been easier. Enabling the license key generator for a product will make the plugin generate a license key for your customer after purchase. then the generated license key will be added to the license keys list

The generator can be configured to add a prefix and a suffix to the generated license keys, and you can also set the length and the number of chunks of the generated license keys.

This is an example of license keys generated with the following settings:
DEV-154F-57AC-98BC-A5F7-55AA-USR

Prefix: DEV-
Suffix: -USR
Chunk length: 4
Number of chunks: 5

Tracking API

Implement the API in your digital products to make sure users are using a licensed copy of your software.

Using a simple POST request, you can activate/deactivate a license key, get license key status(valid, invalid, or expired), or get license key details.

A detailed example of how to use the API is available in the documentation. The Implementation of the API requires programming skills.

License Keys Delivery Options

You can make your customers see the purchased license keys on your website instead of having them delivered to the email

page

Notes

This plugin was not built for multisite.

Change Log

Version 6.0.5 – November 10, 2024

    - Fixed pool name not showing on the email and pdf templates for Pools addon users.

Version 6.0.4 – November 5, 2024

    - Bug fixes.

Version 6.0.3 – August 26, 2024

    - Added the endpoint "license_details_with_product_data" to API v2, the new endpoint returns the response of the license details and product details endpoint in one call.
    - Added the option to bulk import license keys from a textarea in addition to TXT and CSV files. 
    - Combined the products and variations select in one dropdown. 

Version 6.0.2 – July 28, 2024

    - Continuing the transition away from using order meta to store sold license keys, the license keys shown in the pdf invoice are no longer fetched from the order meta, they are now fetched directly from the license manager.
    - Supported PDF invoices plugin: PDF Invoices & Packing Slips for WooCommerce By WP Overnight
    - If you are using custom license manager email and PDF templates, please update them.

Version 6.0.1  – July 27, 2024

    - Bug fix

Version 6.0  – July 23, 2024

    - License keys are no longer fetched from the order meta, in version 6.0 the license keys are directly fetched from the license manager table. Currently, this is only for license keys shown in the email template, the change will come to the front end, order history, and PDF in the future.

    - The license keys are still stored in the order meta for compatibility but this will change in the future, if you are fetching license keys from the order meta for use in third-party scripts, please update your code to get the license keys directly from the license manager table using the order ID.

    - No longer storing license keys in the order meta means you can't delete sold license keys from the license manager anymore, deleting a license key from the license manager will also remove it from the order. 

    - Removed the "Defer Sending WooCommerce Emails" option from email settings as it its no longer needed.

    - Those changes had to be made to solve the issue caused by WooCommerce's HPOS, as storing data in the order meta using the new WooCommerce API is slow, resulting in emails being sent before the license keys are processed.
