Automatic Key Generation
on Every Purchase

When a customer completes a purchase, EasyCommerce automatically generates a unique license key up to 64 characters and delivers it in the order confirmation email. No manual steps, no delays.

You can also create custom license keys for specific customers or use cases. Keys can be lifetime or set to expire after a configurable period.

    Activation Tracking and
    Limit Enforcement

    Each license has a configurable activation limit: the number of sites or installations where it can be active simultaneously. When a customer activates the license on a site, the activation is tracked by site URL.

    If a customer tries to activate beyond their limit, the API blocks it. Admins can view all activations per license, revoke specific activations, or increase the limit for individual customers.

      Customer License Management
      from Their Dashboard

      Customers can view all their license keys directly in their order history. Copy-to-clipboard makes getting the key into their software seamless. They can also activate and deactivate sites from the account dashboard.

      The license key also appears embedded in the order confirmation email, so customers always have a record even without logging in.

        Frequently Asked Questions

        How are license keys delivered to customers?

        License keys are automatically generated when an order is completed and delivered via the order confirmation email. Customers can also copy their license key from their order history page and manage activations from the account dashboard.

        Can I set activation limits per license?

        Yes. Set an activation limit per product variation. The default is 1 site activation. When a customer tries to activate on more sites than the limit allows, the API returns an error. Admins can increase limits for specific licenses from the admin panel.

        Is there an API for software integrations?

        Yes. Three REST API endpoints for software integrations:
        • POST /licenses/{key}/activate: activate for a site URL
        • POST /licenses/{key}/deactivate: remove a site activation
        • GET /licenses/{key}: get license status and activation count

        Is the License Manager included in the core plugin?

        No. License Manager is a Pro Addon requiring a valid EasyCommerce license to install. Install it directly from the addons panel in your EasyCommerce admin.
