Dreamax License Manager

Dreamax License Manager is a self-hosted license operations plugin for WooCommerce stores that sell software and other licensed products. It keeps licensing data under the store owner’s control and does not depend on an external licensing service.

The plugin itself does not require a license key, payment, subscription, trial, quota, or external service. Every feature included in this plugin is available without an upgrade. License checks performed by the plugin apply only to license keys that the store owner issues for their own products.

License management

• Generate cryptographically strong license keys or import existing keys.
• Track ownership, lifecycle state, activation use, and expiry in one inventory.
• Assign, extend, suspend, revoke, release, reassign, or delete licenses through controlled workflows.
• Record creation, delivery, activation, reveal, reassignment, and lifecycle changes in an audit trail.
• Preview mapped CSV imports before writing data, process larger imports in background batches, and download row-level error reports.
• Export filtered license or activation inventories, with keys masked unless an authorized administrator explicitly confirms a full-key export.

WooCommerce automation

• Enable licensing per simple product or variation.
• Generate keys securely or allocate them from an imported key pool.
• Issue one license per purchased quantity or one per order item.
• Set activation limits, validity periods, and refund and cancellation policies.
• Allocate and deliver licenses when eligible orders are paid.
• Recover or backfill eligible historical orders through guarded order tools.
• Work with WooCommerce HPOS, classic order storage, Checkout Blocks, and classic checkout.

Customer access

• Publish a login-protected standalone license dashboard without depending on a theme’s WooCommerce account layout.
• Direct the WooCommerce My Account Licenses link to the configured standalone dashboard, with the account endpoint retained as a fallback.
• Keep license keys masked until an authorized customer chooses to reveal and copy one.
• Let guest purchasers claim eligible orders through a time-limited one-time-code flow.
• Prevent one customer from viewing another customer’s license records.
• Let customers activate replacements and deactivate old installations when the merchant enables self-service management.

API and integrations

• Validate, activate, and deactivate licenses through public REST endpoints.
• Create narrowly scoped, expiring Bearer credentials for trusted management integrations.
• Rotate or revoke management credentials without storing recoverable secrets.
• Apply request validation, rate limits, idempotency controls, and auditable privileged operations.

Security and recovery

License keys are protected with authenticated encryption provided by the Sodium PHP extension. The dedicated master key is stored in wp-config.php, not in the WordPress database. A keyed lookup fingerprint supports exact matching without storing a searchable plaintext key.

The System Status screen checks encryption, storage, scheduled cleanup, HTTPS, and required platform capabilities. If the master key is missing or does not match, the plugin enters recovery mode and pauses sensitive licensing operations without changing the stored encrypted data.

Back up the dedicated master key separately from the database. A database backup alone cannot recover clear license keys.

Requirements

• WordPress 6.9 or later.
• WooCommerce 10.8 or later.
• PHP 8.0 or later with the Sodium extension.
• InnoDB-compatible database tables for transactional activation enforcement.
• HTTPS for production sites and credential-bearing API requests.
