<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Sell license keys for software</h2>
<p><strong>WooCommerce Software Add‑on</strong> gives you end‑to‑end licensing inside WooCommerce. Generate keys on purchase, manage activations and upgrades, and keep support simple by managing everything where you already fulfill orders.</p>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Sell licenses and upgrades</h2>
<p>Mark any product as software, set licensing rules, and let the add‑on handle the rest. Customers buy like any other product, and when the order is <strong>completed</strong> they automatically receive their license key, activation email, and activation limits in the order‑complete message.</p>

<p>If you introduce a paid upgrade, define eligible past keys and an upgrade price. During checkout, customers enter their existing license and receive upgrade pricing automatically.</p>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">View purchased keys</h2>
<p>See exactly which key belongs to which order, including remaining activations, right on the WooCommerce Edit Order screen. Need to resend the license email? Use the built‑in “Send” action without leaving WooCommerce.</p>

<p>For a global view, go to <strong>WooCommerce → License Keys</strong> to search, filter, and bulk‑revoke keys when necessary.</p>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Track activations and view reports</h2>
<p>Understand usage at a glance. The <strong>WooCommerce → Reports → Software</strong> dashboard summarizes sales and activation activity so you can spot trends, enforce limits, and plan upgrades.</p>

<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Integrate with your app via API</h2>
<p>Validate licenses from your desktop app, plugin, or SaaS. The API supports generating keys, activating, de‑activating, resetting, and checking validity so you can enforce licensing where it matters: inside your software. See the documentation for endpoints and examples.</p>

<h2><b>Protect your Website with Google reCAPTCHA</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Stop spam, fake registrations, and bot-driven attacks before they reach your website.
