📖 Detailed Overview

💻 Sell Digital Software Through WooCommerce

Use WooCommerce as the foundation for selling downloadable software products such as plugins, themes, applications, and other digital goods.

The add-on provides additional tools for managing the post-purchase software lifecycle, including licenses, downloads, updates, and customer access.

🔑 Software License Management

Create and manage software licenses for customers who purchase eligible digital products.

The licensing functionality covers multiple stages of the license lifecycle, including:

• License key creation

• Activation

• Verification

• Renewal

• Upgrades

• Deactivation

• Transfer

• Usage tracking

This provides administrators with a structured way to manage software entitlements after an order has been completed.

✅ License Activation & Verification

Customers can activate their purchased software using the assigned license information. License verification helps determine whether a license can be used according to the configured licensing rules.

Administrators can also monitor license activity and manage activation-related settings.

🔄 License Renewals, Upgrades & Transfers

Manage ongoing software licensing requirements by supporting license renewal and upgrade workflows. License transfer functionality can also be used when a license needs to be moved according to the store's configured policies.

📊 License Usage Tracking

Track license usage and activation activity to provide administrators with greater visibility into how purchased software licenses are being used.

📦 Product Version Control

Maintain different software versions and keep product release information organized. Version management can be used alongside update and changelog functionality to keep customers informed about available releases.
