Description

Are you a theme or plugin developer selling your products on the Envato market? Struggling to manage purchase-code licenses across multiple customer domains? License For Envato is the solution.

Install this plugin on your WordPress site to turn it into a fully-featured license server. It validates Envato purchase codes through the official Envato API and stores per-domain activation records in your database. Your customers activate their copy directly from your theme or plugin settings page — no third-party service required.

Need activation limits, automatic updates, webhooks, blacklisting or an analytics dashboard? Check out License For Envato Pro.

🔑 How It Works

  1. Server Setup — Install the plugin on your WordPress site and connect your Envato personal token.
  2. Client Integration — Copy the provided PHP class into your theme or plugin and point it at your server URL.
  3. Display the Form — Instantiate the class on your settings page to render an activate/deactivate form for your customers.
