A comprehensive and high-performance license management system for WooCommerce to automate software key generation, distribution, and validation.

== Description ==

**WPC LicenseHive** is an enterprise-grade digital rights management tool for WooCommerce. Whether you are selling software, games, digital artwork, or access keys, this plugin automates the entire lifecycle of a license key — from generation and assignment to customer delivery.

Instead of manually sending serial numbers, WPC LicenseHive handles everything in the background. It seamlessly integrates with WooCommerce orders and provides a beautiful admin dashboard for your team.

= Why WPC LicenseHive? =

* **Custom Generators** — flexible rules for character sets, prefixes, suffixes, and segments.
* **Trial Licenses** — easily offer time-limited or usage-limited trial keys for your products.
* **Variation Support** — assign different license generators to different product variations.
* **High Performance** — optimized database architecture with Exact-Match searching for massive catalogs.
* **Card-based UI** — modern, AJAX-powered admin interface for lightning-fast management.
