Automates the entire process for migrating your wordpress install from a test/development/source to the live/destination domain. Also allows the ignoring of certain files/directories not needed to upload (e.g /cache, /.git, /.svn /.gitignore etc etc).
Here’s a list of what is accomplished during an automated deployment:
<ul>
<li>If supported, archives the entire wordpress installation for compressed upload</li>
<li>Checks the file permissions</li>
<li>Uploads either the archive or each individual file</li>
<li>An uploaded archive is then extracted server side</li>
<li>Uploading each individual file is maximized by upload speed by asynchronously uploading up to 10 files</li>
<li>You can choose to ignore a list of folders or files for the upload – example cache folder or repository folders</li>
<li>Dumps/Exports your entire database and uploads it to the live server</li>
<li>Automatically switches old URL with the new URL</li>
<li>Automatically updates the wp-config.php accordingly</li>
<li>Flushes wordpress rewrite rules</li>
</ul>
If you are scared about the automated transfer and wish to do it manually, then just download the MySQL dump with the updated URL.
Disclaimer: Please backup any files or mysql tables on the live server. Although Live Server Deploy aims to provide a seamless deploy, we cannot guarantee that nothing unexpected can happen that might damage your content. Use at own risk.

Tracks the distribution of your installable products. The plugin provides an ajax API to accept installation registrations & usage data. Also provides a mechanism for pushing product upgrades to clients. Custom build tags can also be used to track clients with customized products and push custom upgrades to these clients.
Plugin REST API 
 http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
<pre><code>Actions:
 regupdate - Adds\Updates a registration record
 useapp - Updates product\version usage and registered client use
 upgrade - Checks for a product upgrade with a higher version number

Note: Product and Registration records are automatically added\updated via inbound API calls. Only Upgrades are added via the Admin console.

Example (.Net API call to register a client)

 **Registration**
 var response = HttpHelper.Post(URL, new NameValueCollection() {
 { "action", "regupdate" }, 
 { "sky", SecretKey }, //Secret ID must match ID in your WordPress|Settings|InstallTracker 
 { "product", Product },
 { "ver", Version },
 { "custom", Custom },

 { "trackid", RegID }, //TrackID from previous registration to allow updates, blank for new
 { "key", key }, //GUID generated by your installation (Format: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 )
 { "name", name },
 { "email", email },
 { "phone", phone },
 { "contact", contact },
 { "addr", address },
 { "city", city },
 { "state", state },
 { "zipcode", zipcode}
 }); 

 var str = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(response);
 if (str != null && str.Equals("0")) return false; //Secret key might not match
 var outObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Registration>(str);
 if (outObject.valid == "TRUE")
 {
 RegID = outObject.regID; //Returned Registration ID for future updates
 return true;
 } 

 **Usage**
 var pars = new NameValueCollection() {
 { "action", "useapp" }, 
 { "sky", SecretKey }, 
 { "product", Product },
 { "ver", Version },
 { "custom", Custom },

 { "trackid", RegID }, //TrackID from previous registration (optional)
 { "key", key } //GUID generated by your installation (optional)
 };


 **Upgrade**
 var pars = new NameValueCollection() {
 { "action", "upgrade" }, 
 { "sky", SecretKey }, 
 { "product", Product },
 { "ver", Version },
 { "custom", Custom },
 };
