Licenzo is a powerful license and subscription management plugin for WordPress. For digital product sellers (such as plugin or theme developers) license management is a hassle. Licenzo will automate license key generation, validation, and recurring payments.
With Licenzo you can automatically assign license keys on purchase, set expiration dates, and send renewal reminders—all within your WordPress dashboard. Simple, WooCommerce-based, clean UI, you couldn’t expect more!
Whether you’re a solo developer or a small business owner, Licenzo makes selling and managing software licenses easy and secure.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Self-hosted solution: Keep all license data and processes on your own WordPress site (no third-party licensing servers needed).</li>
<li>Automated licensing: Generate unique license keys automatically when customers purchase your product. Licenses can have activation limits and expiration dates that Licenzo tracks and enforces.</li>
<li>WooCommerce integration: Easily tie licenses to your WooCommerce products. When a customer buys a licensed product, Licenzo creates and assigns the license key automatically. Works with simple and variable products.</li>
<li>Subscription support: Built-in support for recurring payments (using WooCommerce Subscriptions). Licenzo will automatically renew or expire licenses according to subscription payments. You can also manually renew or extend licenses if needed.</li>
<li>Expiration management: Licenses can be set to expire after a defined period. Expired licenses are automatically revoked, ensuring expired customers lose access. Licenzo can also send reminders before expiration to prompt renewals.</li>
<li>Email notifications: Send automated email alerts to customers and admins for important events (license activation, upcoming expiration, renewal confirmations, etc.). All notification templates are customizable.</li>
<li>Custom license keys: Define your own key format, length, or prefix to match your branding or security needs. Licenzo’s key generator can create pretty or complex keys as desired.</li>
<li>Dashboard & analytics: View a clear overview of your business inside WordPress. The Licenzo dashboard shows total customers, active licenses, activations, and revenue from subscriptions. Charts and metrics help you spot trends at a glance.</li>
<li>Customer portal: Use the built-in shortcode (<code>[licenzo_customer_portal]</code>) to give customers a frontend dashboard. Customers can log in to view their licenses, activation counts, and download links, all in one place.</li>
<li>Developer-friendly: For advanced users, Licenzo includes REST API endpoints and action/filter hooks. You can integrate license checks into your code or connect with other tools programmatically (optional).</li>
<li>Easy product setup: Quickly add licensing to existing products. Licenzo adds a Licenzo tab to your WooCommerce products so you can enable licenses and set activation limits with a click while adding a new product.</li>
<li>Upcoming features and integrations: We’re planning even more features! Future updates will include support for Easy Digital Downloads, FluentCart, FluentCRM, Mailchimp, marketplace imports (e.g. ThemeForest/CodeCanyon), split payment, coupon code, export/import license keys, and a lot more.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ul>
<li>
Assign licenses to products: Edit any WooCommerce product (or create a new one). Locate the Licenzo tab or section in the product editor. Check Sync to Licenzo (or similar) to add licensing options to this product. Here you can set status (Active/Inactive/Draft), License Cycle (Monthly, Yearly, etc.), and how many activations each license allows. Publish the product. Now, whenever this product is purchased, Licenzo will generate a license key for the customer automatically.
</li>
<li>
Automatic license generation: When a customer completes a purchase of a licensed product, Licenzo generates the license key, assigns it to the customer, and emails the key to them. The key’s status (active, inactive, expired) is recorded in your Licenzo dashboard.
</li>
<li>
Manage licenses: Go to the Licenzo → Licenses from your WordPress dashboard. Here you’ll see a list of all license keys, their status, expiration dates, and associated orders. You can search for licenses, view details, and perform actions like activating, deactivating, or deleting keys. You can also manually create new licenses if needed (for example, to issue a free license or move a license to another customer).
</li>
<li>
Subscription renewals: If you sell subscriptions (via WooCommerce Subscriptions), Licenzo handles renewals automatically. When a subscription is renewed, Licenzo extends the customer’s license expiration date. If a subscription payment fails or is canceled, Licenzo will revoke or expire the related license. You can view and manage these events in the Licenzo dashboard.
</li>
<li>
Customer management: Licenzo automatically links customers to licenses. Each license is assigned to the user who bought it (you can sync or manually adjust these connections). In the Customers view, you can see each customer’s profile, total purchases, and active licenses. This makes it easy to track customer lifetime value and support requests.
</li>
<li>
Frontend portal: For a user-friendly experience, place the shortcode <code>[licenzo_customer_portal]</code> on any page. This creates a front-end portal where logged-in customers can view their own licenses, check activation counts, and download associated files. It’s a simple way to give customers self-service access without coding.
</li>
<li>
Dashboard insights: Licenzo adds analytics to your WordPress admin area. Check the Licenzo Dashboard to see charts and stats like total revenue, MRR, subscriptions, licenses, sites, top products and more. These insights help you make informed business decisions at a glance.
</li>
<li>
Extending Licenzo: Developers can use Licenzo’s REST API and hooks to add custom license validation in their own code or integrate with other systems. (For example, your software could call Licenzo’s API to check if a license key is valid before enabling features.) This is optional – Licenzo works out of the box without any coding, but provides advanced tools if you need them.

<h4>API reference</h4>
This plugin includes a working serial validation API for locally created serials:
<pre><code>POST https://yourdomain.com/wp-json/wc-custom/v1/validate-serial
</code></pre>
Required fields:
<ul>
<li><code>serial</code> – the license key shown to the customer.</li>
<li><code>hardwareId</code> – one stable activation identity.</li>
</ul>
For websites, WordPress plugins, or PHP apps, use the canonical site URL as <code>hardwareId</code>.
For desktop software, use a stable hashed device ID as <code>hardwareId</code>. Do not send raw hardware serial numbers.
Example JSON request:
<pre><code>{
 "serial": "ABCD-EFGH-IJKL-MNOP",
 "hardwareId": "https://example-client-site.com"
}
</code></pre>
Example success response:
<pre><code>{
 "valid": "True",
 "message": "Serial validated and hardware ID activated.",
 "email": "customer@example.com",
 "last_name": "Customer"
}
</code></pre>
Common failed responses use <code>"valid": "False"</code> with a <code>message</code>, for example serial not found, hardware ID mismatch, expired, suspended, or rate limited.
Important: this plugin validates serials created inside Codulon Serial Manager Lite. The separate full version uses the same endpoint path but validates WooCommerce serials, subscriptions, renewals, revoked access, customer order data, and advanced license rules.
