The Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) Software Licenses extension is an indispensable add-on for any business selling WordPress themes, plugins, software applications, or any digital product that requires licensing and updates. This powerful extension transforms your EDD-powered store into a robust software sales platform, providing a complete system for automated license key generation, activation management, version control, and automated software updates directly from your customers' dashboards. It's built to streamline your operations, protect your intellectual property, and enhance the customer experience by simplifying the licensing and update process.

Key Features:

• Automated License Key Generation: Automatically generates unique, secure license keys for each purchase of your software products, eliminating manual key creation.

• Comprehensive License Management: Easily view, manage, activate, deactivate, extend, and delete customer license keys directly from your WordPress dashboard. Each license includes detailed purchase and customer data.

• Software Licensing API: Includes a complete and easy-to-use JSON API that allows your software (WordPress themes, plugins, desktop apps, etc.) to remotely activate, deactivate, check, and validate license keys.

• One-Click Software Updates: Provides a built-in system to offer one-click automatic updates for your WordPress themes and plugins directly from the user's WordPress dashboard, similar to how official WordPress.org themes and plugins update.

• License Renewal System: Implement automated email reminders to customers when their licenses are about to expire, encouraging renewals and recurring revenue. Integrates seamlessly with EDD's Recurring Payments extension for automatic renewals.

• License Upgrade Paths: Set up upgrade paths to allow customers to easily upgrade between different license levels (e.g., from a single-site license to an unlimited-site license), with prorated payments and optional discounts.

• Version Control & Changelogs: Define current software versions and provide detailed changelogs for each update, which are displayed to customers during the update process.

• Activation Limits: Set limits on the number of times a single license key can be activated, helping to control unauthorized distribution.

• Integrates with Core EDD: Works flawlessly as an extension of the Easy Digital Downloads plugin, leveraging its core functionalities for payments, reporting, and customer management.

• Supports WordPress & Non-WordPress Software: While ideal for WordPress products, the comprehensive API allows for licensing and updates of any software application.
