Getting Started with Product License Manager

The moment you activate the plugin, you land on a dashboard that's honest about where you stand — everything reads zero until you generate your first license. There's no fake data to wade through and nothing pre-configured behind your back.

Product License Manager

NOTE  A zero-state dashboard isn't a bug — it means the plugin hasn't invented any activity for you. The moment you generate a real license, every card, chart, and table starts reflecting it immediately.

The fastest path from install to your first working license looks like this:

  1. Activate your plugin license so updates and support unlock.
  2. Add your first Product and, optionally, your first Customer.
  3. Click Generate License, choose the product and plan, and let the key auto-generate.
  4. Copy the key into your welcome email — or let the built-in Welcome / License template send it automatically.
  5. Watch the Payment Activity and Dashboard views populate as real customers activate the key on real sites.

TIP  You don't have to create a customer before generating a license. The Generate License modal lets you pick — or add — a customer inline, so you can issue a key first and attach the buyer's details as soon as they're known.
