It issues and validates licence keys, controls how many sites each key can activate, and serves plugin or app updates to licensed customers — all from a server you own. It is the licensing and update layer, not a storefront theme.
Yes, and that is the point. It runs on ordinary PHP 8.2+ hosting with SQLite or MySQL. There is no account with us in the middle of your customer relationships, and no third party that can change its terms on you later.
No. There is a drop-in WordPress SDK for plugins and themes, and a dependency-free PHP client for licensing any other PHP script or application against the same API. Product types cover plugin, theme, script and app.
Freemius takes a percentage of every sale — 4.7% plus a 2.3% WordPress surcharge, plus gateway fees, on their published pricing. LicensorPro is a flat subscription (from $79/year) regardless of what you sell, you keep 100% of revenue, your customer list stays in your own database, and you choose the payment gateway. The trade-off is real and runs the other way too: Freemius is your merchant of record and files your sales tax, and LicensorPro does not. Full comparison.
Nineteen drivers ship with it, including Stripe, PayPal, Paddle, Polar, Lemon Squeezy, Mollie, Razorpay and others, with per-country routing so buyers see a processor that works where they are.
Yes — a 14-day money-back guarantee. Install it, run it against a real plugin, and if it does not fit, email us within two weeks for a full refund.
Whatever you decide. The bundled SDK keeps the licence panel loaded above the gate and leaves premium files on disk, so a lapsed customer reverts to your free tier and re-activates instantly on renewal — no re-download, no broken site. It also carries an offline grace period so a brief outage on your server never locks anyone out.
You upload a release; licensed sites get it through the same update mechanism WordPress already uses, over time-limited signed download URLs. Unlicensed sites simply do not see the update.
Yes. Import your existing customers and licence keys, point your plugin at the new API URL in an update, and existing keys keep working. Email us before you start and we will look at your specific setup.
