Tie a download to a licence, not to an order

3 November 2026 · module Download Manager for WooCommerce

WooCommerce downloads are tied to an order, not to a subscription. This module ties them to an active licence.

Only up-to-date subscribers

The customer can download only if their renewal is up to date. When the licence expires, the download is blocked.

Taking over what exists

Older licence systems (EDD, WooCommerce Software Add-on) are taken over automatically, without breaking existing links. The settings include a cut-off date and the locking of old access.

Reminders

The customer receives an e-mail before their licence expires, so they can renew in time.

Subscriptions and offers

Each subscription has a start, an end, a status and its original order. Subscription products have a duration. Customer offers allow free software, credited and then chosen by the customer.

Statistics and diagnostic

Successes, refusals, volume served, activity over thirty days. A diagnostic lists what must be green before opening downloads.

Requirements and licence

WordPress 6.5 or later, WooCommerce 8.0 or later, PHP 7.4 to 8.3. 39 €, once: perpetual licence. The optional renewal (19 €/year) only covers updates and support. Without a licence key entered, the module contacts no server.
