The EasyCommerce Licensing Addon lets you generate and manage license keys for digital products. It’s ideal for selling software, plugins, themes, or any downloadable items that require activation control.

⚠️ This is a paid addon. You’ll need a valid license key to activate and use it after installation.

Follow the steps below to install, activate, and start using the Licensing Addon on your EasyCommerce-powered store.

Step 1: Install & Activate the Addon

• Sign in to your WordPress dashboard.
• Navigate to EasyCommerce > Addons.
• Find the Licensing Addon, then click Enable.
• You will be prompted (via ‘Activate License’) to enter your license key for this addon.
• After successful activation, the addon will be installed and ready to use.

If you don’t have the license key, then proceed with purchasing the addon by selecting the ‘Get Your License Now’ button. After completing the purchase, the license key should be found with your customer dashboard (my.easycommerce.dev) or via an email.

Step 2: Enable Licensing for a Product

Go to Store > Products and either create a new digital product or edit an existing one.

Under the Pricing section, check the box for Generate License.

Fill in the following:

• Activation Limit – Set how many times the license can be activated.
• License Duration – Choose how long the license will remain valid (days, months, or years).
• Upload the product file (e.g., ZIP, EXE, etc.) that customers will download after purchase.

Lastly, complete the rest of the process of adding a product, and click Save Product to apply license settings to the product.

Step 3: Manage All Issued Licenses

Now, go to Store > Licenses from your admin sidebar.

You’ll see a table with all issued licenses, showing:

• Order ID
• Product Name
• License Key
• Customer Name
• Activation Limit
• Expiry Date
• Current Status (Active, Expired, etc.)

This dashboard gives you full control over all generated licenses.

Step 4: View License Details

Click on any license (hover and tap ‘View’ under the license ID) in the list to open its details page. You’ll see:

• License Key
• Order ID and Product Name
• Customer Name
• Activation Limit and Expiry
• Current License Status
• Activation Log

You can use this view to track usage, update limits, or deactivate licenses manually if needed.

Step 5: Test the Licensing Flow

• Buy a digital product through your storefront using a test user.
• Complete the checkout successfully to generate the license.
• Go to Store > Licenses to confirm the license was created.
• Click the license to verify its details, limits, and expiry.

This helps ensure the license system is working before going live.
