== Description ==
The **License Manager for WooCommerce** allows you to easily sell and manage all of your digital license keys. With features like the bulk importer, automatic delivery, automatic stock management, and database encryption, your shop will now run easier than ever.
[Plugin & API Documentation](https://www.licensemanager.at/docs)
#### Key plugin features
* Automatically sell and deliver license keys through WooCommerce
* Automatically manage the stock for licensed products
* Activate, deactivate, and check your licenses through the REST API
* Manually resend license keys
* Add and import license keys and assign them to WooCommerce products
* Import license keys by file upload
* Export license keys as PDF or CSV
* Manage the status of your license keys
* Create license key generators with custom parameters
* Assign a generator to one (or more!) WooCommerce product(s), these products then automatically create a license key whenever they are sold.
#### API
The plugin also offers additional endpoints for manipulating licenses and generator resources. These routes are authorized via API keys (generated through the plugin settings) and accessed via the WordPress API. An extensive [API documentation](https://www.licensemanager.at/docs/rest-api/v2/) is also available.
#### Support
If you have any feature requests, need more hooks, or maybe have even found a bug, please let us know in the support forum or e-mail us at <[email protected]>. We look forward to hearing from you!
You can also check out the [documentation pages](https://www.licensemanager.at/docs/handbook/), as they contain the most essential information on what the plugin can do for you.
#### 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!

== Upgrade Notice ==
= 1.2.1 =
Please deactivate the plugin and reactivate it.
= 1.1.1 =
Copy your previously backed up `defuse.txt` and `secret.txt` to the `wp-content/uploads/lmfwc-files/` folder. Overwrite the existing files, as those are incompatible with the keys you already have in your database. If you did not backup these files previously, then you will need to completely delete (not deactivate!) and install the plugin anew.
= 1.0.0 =
There is no specific upgrade process for the initial release. Simply install the plugin and you're good to go!
