Codulon License & Serial Manager Lite

Codulon License & Serial Manager Lite is a free WordPress plugin designed for store owners who need to manage software license keys manually within their WordPress sites. It addresses the need for straightforward license and serial key administration for digital products, focusing on manual creation, management, and validation of license keys without requiring external systems.

The plugin provides several features tailored to manual license management. Store owners can create license keys manually and generate serials automatically from a manual form. It supports managing license status, allowing keys to be marked as active, suspended, or expired. The admin interface includes a searchable table for organizing and finding licenses, as well as copy-to-clipboard buttons for serial keys. For customer support, a shortcode is available to enable customer lookup of their serial keys directly on the site using [codulon_serial_keys_lite].

For license validation, Codulon License & Serial Manager Lite offers a basic REST validation endpoint for serials created locally. It includes first-activation binding to a hardware ID and offers protection against hardware ID mismatches, enhancing security for distributed software that requires hardware-based licensing checks.

This plugin is delivered as a WordPress plugin, making it accessible to anyone operating a WordPress-based store. It is available for free, as indicated by its listing and feature set. The tool is suitable for store owners seeking manual control over license key generation and validation within the WordPress ecosystem.
