    Step 2: Enable Licensing for a Product<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Go to Store > Products and either create a new digital product or edit an existing one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Under the Pricing section, check the box for Generate License.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"License\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Fill in the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Activation Limit \u2013 Set how many times the license can be activated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • License Duration \u2013 Choose how long the license will remain valid (days, months, or years).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Upload the product file (e.g., ZIP, EXE, etc.) that customers will download after purchase.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Lastly, complete the rest of the process of adding a product, and click Save Product<\/strong> to apply license settings to the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Step 3: Manage All Issued Licenses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Now, go to Store > Licenses<\/strong> from your admin sidebar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You\u2019ll see a table with all issued licenses, showing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Order ID<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Product Name<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • License Key<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Customer Name<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Activation Limit<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Expiry Date<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Current Status (Active, Expired, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        This dashboard gives you full control over all generated licenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Step 4: View License Details<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \"license<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Click on any license (hover and tap \u2018View\u2019 under the license ID) in the list to open its details page. You\u2019ll see:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n

        • Current License Status<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Activation Log<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          You can use this view to track usage, update limits, or deactivate licenses manually if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Step 5: Test the Licensing Flow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Buy a digital product through your storefront using a test user.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Complete the checkout successfully to generate the license.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Go to Store > Licenses<\/strong> to confirm the license was created.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Click the license to verify its details, limits, and expiry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

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