Create and deliver licenses for plugins, desktop software, SaaS, scripts, portals, and other products from WordPress.

== Description ==

SpeedyLicensing provides software-license creation, sales integration, activation management, validation, and protected release delivery from WordPress.

The Free edition supports:

* Manual Lifetime, Fixed Term, and Trial licenses
* Automatic licenses after paid WooCommerce orders, including paid renewal orders
* Separate Product Rules for simple products and sellable variations
* Activate, validate, and deactivate API requests
* Device limits and development/staging exclusions
* Software Releases, protected downloads, and update metadata
* Customer license delivery and self-service license information

There are no product-count, license-count, activation-count, time, or revenue quotas imposed by the plugin. Saved activation limits are the limits you intentionally assign to individual customer licenses.

= Need recurring subscription automation? =

Free processes paid WooCommerce orders, including paid renewal orders, and supports manually managed licenses. [License Manager Pro](https://wpspeedyplugins.com/) is a separately distributed plugin that adds synchronization of existing licenses with subscription holds and cancellations, remote storefront provisioning, webhooks, imports, migrations, and advanced operations.

== Installation ==

1. Upload and activate SpeedyLicensing on the WordPress site that will manage licenses.
2. Open SpeedyLicensing and complete the Integration Guide.
3. Create a manual test license, or install WooCommerce and create a Product Rule for a product or variation.
4. Connect the licensed software to the activate, validate, and deactivate API.
5. Test the complete workflow on staging before selling or distributing software.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Is WooCommerce required? =

No. WooCommerce is optional and is used for automatic paid-order-to-license creation, including renewal orders, and customer commerce screens. Administrator-created licenses work without WooCommerce.

= Does Free stop after a certain number of products or licenses? =

No. The Free edition does not impose usage quotas.

= Does Free automatically follow subscription renewals and cancellations? =

Paid renewal orders are processed like other paid WooCommerce orders and can create a new license under the matching Product Rule. Free does not synchronize subscription holds or cancellations with previously issued licenses; administrators can manage those licenses directly. Automatic synchronization is included in the separately distributed Pro edition.
