Best way to license software downloads?

Hi there,

Thanks again for the awesome software solution.

I have two products launching. One is a custom Firefox Portable distribution and the other is a WordPress plugin.

What would be the best way to license them please so that they are only usable with a paid subscription to my website via S2Member?

Thanks in advance. :)

Thank you for your inquiry.

To restrict software the best way to do this would be to use s2Member’s Download Restrictions to block access to your downloads.

See: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Download Options -› Advanced Download Restrictions

You can generate one-time download links for Users that are logged in this way, and sell access to your different products through s2Member. You can use Shortcode Conditionals to decide when a Download link should be generated:

Knowledge Base » Simple Shortcode Conditionals

That would be for allowing downloads for your software. If you’re looking to only allow your products to function if a User has a certain Capability/User level, this would have to be set up custom. s2Member uses the default WordPress User Roles/Capabilities behavior.
