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.

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

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

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.

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.

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
– It is possible to deliver multiple license keys at a time by setting the quantity delivered in the product
page

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.
