License key management

Through simple, intuitive interfaces Software Licensing allows site admins to easily view and manage customer license keys.

Each individual license key includes a complete details screen that makes all relevant purchase and customer data easily accessible.

License key generation can be enabled on each product in your store separately and every product gets its own settings, allowing you to easily sell many different product variations and non-software products at the same time.

Licensing API

Software Licensing includes a complete and easy to use JSON API that can be used for activating, checking, and validating license keys. This provides software developers a way to remotely activate and validate license keys within software applications.

The API includes methods for the following requests:

• license activation
• license deactivation
• license validation
• latest version / update details

See the API documentation for examples.

License renewals

Included with Software Licensing is a complete renewal system to allow customers to renew their license keys when they are nearing expiration. The renewal system provides automated email reminders that can be sent to customers when a license is about to expire, and from the email customers can, with a single click, go directly to your store and renew their license key.

Renewal discounts can be configured by site administrators to help incentivize customers to renew their license keys.

Site administrators can also manually renew license keys on behalf of customers at anytime, or manually email renewal notices to customers.

License upgrade paths

For sites that sell multiple versions of their software, allowing customers to upgrade from one level to the next is important. Software Licensing provides a complete system for creating upgrade paths for customers to upgrade between license levels.
