FAQ

Is it necessary to install both plugins on the same WordPress installation?

No! That’s one of the biggest benefits of this integration. WooCommerce and the Software License Manager can be installed on different sites.

Can I use this plugin to validate the generated license keys?

No! The license validation part for your distributed plugins and themes is not part of this plugin. Therefore please take a look into the Software License Manager documentation.
