Important The plugin will create two files inside the wp-content/uploads/lmfwc-files folder. These files (defuse.txt and secret.txt) contain cryptographic secrets which are automatically generated if they don’t exist. These cryptographic secrets are used to encrypt, decrypt and hash your license keys. Once they are generated please back them up somewhere safe. In case you lose these two files your encrypted license keys inside the database will remain forever lost! If you would like to contribute to any of these libraries in these languages (Node.js, Python, PHP, Ruby, .NET, C, C#, C++, and Golang), please visit our library page for more details. Note Few features like user license display on account page and license certification are fork from Digital License Manager plugin by Darko Gjorgjijoski and we have changed the code according to our need.

How can you setup the serial code generator? You can enter your codes within the WP admin area in the serial code section (a new menu point in the wordpress amdin area). You can add your own codes manually using the serial code generator or import existing codes. The codes can also be generated by the plugin. The serial code generator can create a bulk of serials or numbers as codes. And you are also able to add your own codes by just entering them to the generated codes below the serial code generator. If needed you can assign the codes to a list. The list (code list) helps you to organize the codes.

Build your own Stolen products database You can set the status of a serial code to be marked as stolen. This way you can offer your customers a way to report a stolen product. Other buyers of used products can validate the code on your website and will be notified with a “Product is stolen” warning. This could increase sales and help reducing theft of your products. The check behaviour will be like “inactive serial codes” but with the stolen message. You can change the stolen message within the options area of the serial code admin. Protection with CVV You can set a code verification value (CVV) to protect your serial code. This allows you to print your serial code on the visible side of your product and print the CVV number on the open visible part of your packaging of your products. The validation check will ask the user to enter both for a valid check. That way you increase the security of your serial codes and prevent stealing the serial code (If you are able hide the CVV on your packaging). If you use a CVV on a serial code , then the user will be asked to enter this CVV too. If the CVV on your code is not set or empty it will be ignored and your customer is not asked for it.

The new serial code will be added to the code list you set on your WooCommerce product and to the product sale too. If the sold product quantity in the order is more than 1, then a code will be generated for each element. The code will be generated after the purchase. In case of a refund the serial code will be recovered and marked as unused, so that it can be reused. E.g.: Your customer bought 2 of the same product within one order, then 2 serials will be generated and stored to the product item within this order.

The format of the serial code will be 12345-12345-12345-12345 if you do not set a generation format within the options. WooCommerce PDF Invoices support to display the serial codes on the PDFs If you use “WooCommerce PDF Invoices”, then the generated serial codes are displayed on the generated PDFs too! The supported PDF plugin is from Ewout Fernhout. WooCommerce Product Sale Restriction to code only You can restrict purchases for a product to a code from a code list or any code you have.

The check will remove the display delimiter “-“, “:”, ” ” for the check automatically. So your user can enter the code with or without delimiters. If you use CVV on a code and the user enter the code that requires a cvv, then your user will be ask to enter the CVV. The user could enter the CVV immediately with the code. Separate the value with a “:”. E.g: XYZXYZ:1234. It is possible to prefill the serial code validation form with a code.
