<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>Increase security without changing your site</h2>
<p>There are plenty of security extensions, so <strong>why should you choose this one?</strong></p>
<p>Invisible reCaptcha has been built with three major aims:</p>
<ol>
<li>Fight bots <strong>without changing</strong> your website layout <strong> or requiring any action</strong> from the end user.</li>
<li>Be <strong>as simple as possible</strong> to set up. Starting from scratch, you’ll be ready in <strong>less than 10 minutes</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Not weigh down</strong> your pages: only a 4KB javascript file (no jQuery-dependent), and only where needed.</li>
</ol>
<p>It’s developed by <a href="https://lcweb.it/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LCweb</a>: creating the best WordPress premium plugins since 2012.</p>
<h2 id="h-top-3-features">The security system you prefer</h2>
<p>The choice is yours:</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li><strong>Google reCaptcha v2</strong> – eventually asking for a popup puzzle solve</li>
<li><strong>Google reCaptcha v3</strong> – totally passive</li>
<li><strong>Honey-pot</strong> – doesn’t rely on any third-party library, being super-fast and <strong>GDPR-proof</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>All of them are <strong>totally free</strong> to be used. No extra subscription is needed!</p>
<h2>Complete forms coverage</h2>
<p>Choose whether to use it on <strong>one/all of these contexts</strong>:</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li>WordPress login forms</li>
<li>WordPress registration forms</li>
<li>WordPress password reset form</li>
<li>WooCommerce login form</li>
<li>WooCommerce registration form</li>
<li>WooCommerce password reset form</li>
<li>WooCommerce checkout form</li>
<li>WooCommerce checkout (Gutenberg block)</li>
</ul>
<h2>Prevent brute-force attacks</h2>
<p>What if traditional anti-spam measures <strong>aren’t enough?</strong> Bot behavior is similar to that of real users; the ultimate solution is to prevent unlimited submissions.</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li>Tracks any server activity linked to the above-listed form submissions</li>
<li>Sets a submission limit that blocks further actions for a specified period</li>
<li>Prevents server outages caused by repeated attempts</li>
<li>Prevents bots from guessing credentials and improves website security</li>
</ul>
<h2>Refused interactions log</h2>
<p>Discover how your security <strong>works behind the scenes</strong>. This extension tracks every failed attempt, helping you understand and strengthen your site’s defenses.</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li>Logs every failed anti-spam or reCAPTCHA validation</li>
<li>Displays IP addresses, timestamps and target pages involved</li>
<li>Helps detect recurring attack patterns and suspicious behavior</li>
<li>Assists in creating precise server or firewall rules</li>
</ul>
<h2>Extras</h2>
<p>A simple-to-use extension doesn’t have to be a poor one. Here are some fine tunings included:</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li><strong>reCaptcha v3 target score</strong>: set the target value to mark users as bots</li>
<li><strong>reCaptcha badge hiding</strong>: Do you want to have a 100% clean result? The plugin can hide the side-page badge</li>
<li><strong>target only guests</strong>: do you want to affect the checkout form only for new users? It’s indeed possible!</li>
<li><strong>ajax-based websites support</strong>: do you have a website loading forms asynchronously? Invisible reCaptcha is compatible also for them!</li>
<li>Fully compatible with <a href="https://be.elementor.com/visit/?bta=1930&brand=elementor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elementor Pro</a> checkout!</li>
</ul>
