Today we are thrilled to announce the release of Software Licensing version 3.2, a release that introduces several long-awaited features.
In version 3.2, we have introduced improved license management for bundle products. Now site admins have the option of generating a license key for the bundle, along with each product inside of the bundle, that permits customers to manage all of their license keys in the bundle simultaneously.
Prior to 3.2, if a customer purchased a bundle and then wished to renew the license keys later on, each license key needed to be renewed separately. This meant that when it came time to renew licenses, it was potentially very difficult for customers to do that if they had purchased a bundle with a large number of items in it. It also meant that renewing the license keys was often more expensive than simply purchasing the bundle again.
With 3.2, bundle license keys can now be renewed all at once, just like individual products.
You can visit our documentation page for bundle license keys to see examples of how this works.
Along with improved bundle licensing, we have added support for setting the activation limits on a per-price basis for bundles and fixed several bugs across the system. Bug fixes and other improvements include:
- Incorrect field labels in renewal notice settings
- Improved CSS / JS loading
- Port numbers get stripped from site URLs
- Duplicate license keys created when using Generate License Keys button is used with bundles
- New {renewal_discount} place holder for renewal notice emails
- Slashes not properly stripped from renewal notices
This update is free to download for all license holders and can be installed via automatic update if you have activated your license key. If you need to purchase a license key, you may do so here. If you need to renew a license key to gain access to the update, you may do some from your account.
