WooCommerce License Manager Plugin
WooCommerce License Manager Plugin helps businesses sell and manage software licenses, plugin licenses, theme licenses, and digital-product license keys through WooCommerce. It can generate license keys after qualifying purchases, connect licenses to products and customer accounts, manage activation status, and provide API endpoints for verification, activation, deactivation, and license-status checks. Built for WordPress and WooCommerce stores that need a structured digital product licensing workflow.
What Is WooCommerce License Manager Plugin?
Selling software, plugins, themes, digital downloads, or license-based products through WooCommerce requires more than sending a download link. Businesses need to generate license keys, connect them to purchased products, manage activation and expiration states, help customers find their keys, and allow external products or applications to verify whether a license is valid.
WooCommerce License Manager Plugin adds a structured licensing workflow to WooCommerce. It helps store owners generate license keys after qualifying orders, assign keys to products, create multiple keys based on product quantity, manage license status, create license plans, provide customer account access, and support API-based activation, verification, deactivation, and status checking.
The plugin is designed for software sellers, WordPress plugin developers, theme developers, digital-product businesses, SaaS-style product providers, and WooCommerce stores that need controlled license management without maintaining a separate licensing platform.
