## Сүрөттөө

Sentio License Manager turns your WooCommerce store into a software licensing server.
Sell licenses for your plugins, themes, or apps and let customers activate their
purchase by signing in with their store account — no license keys to email, copy,
or paste, and no separate dashboard to learn.

When a customer completes an order for a licensed product, Sentio License Manager
issues a license automatically and ties it to their account. The customer installs
your software, opens its license screen, signs in with their store email and password,
and activation happens in one step — on every site they own, up to the plan’s seat
limit.

#### Login-Based Activation — No Keys Required

Instead of emailing keys and fielding “it says invalid” support tickets, Sentio 
License Manager authenticates against your store credentials. Customers never see
or handle a license key.

#### A Full REST API for Your Client Plugins

Sentio License Manager exposes a Bearer-token REST API that your distributed plugin
or theme talks to: authenticate, activate a site, verify a license, and deactivate
a seat. The built-in Integration Guide documents every endpoint with copy-pasteable
code, and a complete working example client is available in the hosted developer
documentation — copy one file, set four constants, and your software is license-
aware.

#### AI Authorization and Metering (Optional)

If the software you sell has an AI feature, Sentio License Manager can authorize
and meter it against the same license record that grants access — a monthly allowance
per license, per-site usage reporting, and revocation when you need it. Three execution
modes cover the realistic deployments: your customers’ plugins call a provider directly
with their own keys, or they call a gateway you run, or this site forwards the request
itself. The feature is off until you configure it, and nothing else in the plugin
depends on it.

#### Migrate From LMFWC or Digital License Manager

Already using License Manager for WooCommerce (LMFWC) or Digital License Manager(
DLM)? Sentio License Manager imports your existing licenses with a guided, dry-run-
first migration tool. It also ships REST API compatibility shims that return LMFWC-
and DLM-shaped responses, so the client integrations you have already deployed keep
working without code changes while you transition.

#### Key Features

 * Login-based activation — customers activate with their store account, never a
   key
 * Automatic license generation when a WooCommerce order completes
 * Per-domain activation management with configurable seat limits per plan
 * Single-site, multi-site, and unlimited activation tiers
 * Full REST API with Bearer-token authentication for client plugins
 * Built-in Integration Guide with copy-pasteable code, linked to full hosted developer
   documentation
 * One-click migration from License Manager for WooCommerce (LMFWC) and Digital 
   License Manager (DLM)
 * REST API compatibility shims so existing LMFWC/DLM client integrations keep working
 * Optional, consent-gated anonymous usage telemetry (off unless you opt in)
 * HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) compatible

#### How It Works

 1. Install Sentio License Manager on your WooCommerce store, create a product, and
    link it to a license plan from the Products screen — a couple of minutes with the
    built-in panel.
 2. A customer purchases through your store and receives an order confirmation automatically.
 3. The customer installs your plugin or theme, opens its license screen, and signs
    in with their store credentials — the license activates immediately, no key required.

#### Requirements

 * WordPress 6.2 or higher
 * WooCommerce 9.0 or higher
 * PHP 8.0 or higher

### External Services

Every outbound request this plugin can make is listed below. Two of the entries 
make no connection at all and are listed for completeness.

#### sentioaddons.com — anonymous usage telemetry (opt-in)

Anonymous usage statistics, so we can see which features and migration paths are
actually used and prioritise accordingly. **Nothing is sent before you consent.**
On first activation a welcome screen offers a consent checkbox (unchecked by default)
and an optional email field; **Skip** forces consent off regardless. On consent 
the plugin POSTs daily, on a WordPress cron job, to `https://sentioaddons.com/wp-
json/sentio-lm/v1/telemetry`.

**Data sent:** plugin, WordPress, PHP and WooCommerce versions; aggregate license
counts by status and an aggregate product count (counts only); counts of licenses
imported from LMFWC and DLM; the number of REST-compatibility keys configured; site
locale; a SHA-256 hash of your site URL (one-way, used only to de-duplicate pings
from the same site); and your optional email if you supplied one. Your IP address
is not sent. License keys, customer emails, order details and page content are never
collected.

**Opting out** at **Sentio  Settings  Anonymous Usage Data** sends a DELETE to `
https://sentioaddons.com/wp-json/sentio-lm/v1/telemetry/site`, which removes your
site’s row and unschedules the cron. It carries a per-site deletion token issued
on each ping, so nobody else can delete your row.

 * Privacy: [https://sentioaddons.com/privacy-policy/](https://sentioaddons.com/privacy-policy/)

#### OpenAI and Anthropic — only in “SLM calls the provider” mode

The AI metering feature has three execution modes, set at **Sentio  License Manager
AI**. Only one of them makes this site contact an AI provider, and an administrator
must select it and supply an API key and model name before it does anything. In 
that mode this site forwards each generation request to whichever provider was configured:

 * **OpenAI** — `https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions`. Terms: [https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use](https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use)·
   Privacy: [https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy](https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy)
 * **Anthropic** — `https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages`. Terms: [https://www.anthropic.com/legal/commercial-terms](https://www.anthropic.com/legal/commercial-terms)·
   Privacy: [https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy](https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy)

**When:** on each generation a licensed client plugin requests, and once when an
administrator presses **Test connection** on the AI settings screen. **Data sent:**
the prompt text the requesting client supplied, the model string the administrator
configured, an output-token limit, and the administrator’s own API key as an authorization
header. No license data, customer data, site URL or personal information is included.

**The other two modes contact no AI provider from this site.** Under _bring your
own key_, client plugins call the provider directly with their own users’ keys. 
Under _your own endpoint_, this site signs a short-lived token that your gateway
verifies offline. In that mode, pressing **Test connection** posts one request to
the gateway URL you configured — your own infrastructure, not a third party.

#### Cloudflare IP ranges (no connection made)

The trusted-proxy setting has a one-click preset that fills in Cloudflare’s published
IP ranges, for sites served through Cloudflare. The list is bundled as static data
inside the plugin (last verified 2026-04-18): the plugin never connects to Cloudflare
and sends it nothing. Terms: [https://www.cloudflare.com/terms/](https://www.cloudflare.com/terms/)·
Privacy: [https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/](https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/)

### Credits

This plugin bundles one third-party library:

 * **defuse/php-encryption** (MIT license) — used only to decrypt your existing 
   license keys when migrating from License Manager for WooCommerce (LMFWC) or Digital
   License Manager (DLM). It performs local cryptography only and makes no network
   connections. Source: [https://github.com/defuse/php-encryption](https://github.com/defuse/php-encryption)

## Орнотуу

 1. Upload the `sentio-license-manager` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install
    it from your WordPress admin under **Plugins → Add New**.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
 3. Ensure **WooCommerce** is installed and active.
 4. Go to **License Manager → Products** to create your first product plan.
 5. Link the plan to a WooCommerce product or variation.
 6. See **License Manager → Integration Guide** for client plugin setup instructions;
    a complete example client lives in the hosted developer documentation linked from
    the guide.

## FAQ.KG

### Does this require WooCommerce?

Yes. WooCommerce must be installed and active — Sentio License Manager generates
licenses from completed WooCommerce orders.

### How do customers activate their license?

They install your plugin or theme, open its license screen, and sign in with their
WooCommerce store account email and password. No license key is copied or pasted.

### Can I migrate from another license plugin?

Yes. Sentio License Manager includes guided importers for License Manager for WooCommerce(
LMFWC) and Digital License Manager (DLM). Each migration offers a dry run first 
so you can preview exactly what will be imported.

### Will my existing client integrations break after migrating?

No. Sentio License Manager ships REST API compatibility shims that return LMFWC-
and DLM-shaped responses, so the client code you have already shipped to customers
keeps working while you transition to Sentio License Manager’s native API.

### Does the plugin send any data off-site?

Only if you opt in. On first activation Sentio License Manager shows a welcome screen
with an anonymous-usage telemetry toggle (and an optional email). Nothing is sent
unless you allow it, and you can opt out anytime from Settings. See the “External
Services” section above for the exact data and endpoints.

### Is it compatible with HPOS?

Yes. Sentio License Manager is fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance
Order Storage (custom order tables).

## Өзгөртүүлөр

#### 2.0.1 – 2026-10-06

 * Fixed fatal error from file corruption during upload

#### 2.0.0 – 2026-09-02

 * AI authorization and metering. If the software you sell has an AI feature, you
   can now meter its usage against the same license record that grants access to
   it. A license carries a monthly generation allowance; a client plugin claims 
   one generation before it runs and reports the outcome afterwards, so a generation
   that fails is not charged. A new AI screen configures the whole thing, covering
   three execution modes: your customers’ plugins call a provider directly with 
   their own keys, they call a gateway you run (this site signs a short-lived token
   your gateway verifies offline), or this site forwards the request to OpenAI or
   Anthropic itself. Only the last of those makes an outbound request from your 
   server — see “External Services” for the disclosure.
 * Self-registration for free-tier client plugins. A plugin with no paying customer
   behind it can register itself for a free allowance without a WooCommerce order,
   and re-registering after a reinstall returns the registration it already had 
   rather than minting a second one, so an allowance is a genuine monthly figure
   rather than something that resets on every reinstall.
 * Revoke, restore and delete AI access per site, from the licenses screen. Revocation
   is immediate and terminal: a revoked site is told so once and stops contacting
   this server entirely, rather than retrying an authorization that will never succeed.
   Restoring puts it straight back.
 * An AI usage screen showing consumption per license and per activated site, with
   each license’s allowance and what has been drawn against it.
 * Metering is keyed to the license, not the site, so several sites activated against
   one license draw on one shared allowance — matching how the seat limit already
   works.
 * “Bring your own key” mode is never metered. When your customers pay their own
   provider, there is nothing for this server to count, and it no longer counts 
   it.
 * Fixed: `POST /auth` returned a fatal 500 for every request carrying a password,
   from 1.8.3 onwards. Login-based activation — the plugin’s headline feature — 
   was broken for anyone running this plugin without the premium edition installed
   alongside it. The REST argument validator declared for the password parameter
   in 1.8.3 could not accept the arguments WordPress passes it.
 * Fixed: re-activating a site that had previously been deactivated now reuses its
   existing activation row instead of adding a second one, so the seat count reflects
   reality.
 * The connection test on the AI screen now sends the same request shape a real 
   client sends and reports the result in place rather than reloading the screen.
   It previously reported failure against correctly configured endpoints, and never
   charges a customer’s allowance.
 * Hardened the AI settings form against browser autofill, which could silently 
   overwrite the model and endpoint fields with a saved email address. Values that
   cannot be what the field is for are now refused on save rather than stored.
 * Authentication failures are logged with the reason the authentication actually
   returned, instead of recording every failure as a wrong password. A login blocked
   by another plugin on your site no longer reads as a bad credential in your logs.
   The response to the client is unchanged and stays deliberately generic.

#### 1.8.5 – 2026-07-28

 * The anonymous-usage telemetry checkbox on the welcome screen now renders unchecked.
   Telemetry is strictly opt-in: nothing is transmitted, no email is stored, and
   no scheduled task is created unless you tick the box and save.
 * Global identifier prefix lengthened from `slm` to `sentiolm` to prevent conflicts
   with other plugins, per the directory guidelines. This covers option and user-
   meta keys, transients, scheduled-task hooks, action and filter names, form and
   AJAX action names, nonce actions, script and style handles, admin page slugs,
   and plugin constants. Existing installs carry their schema-tracking data forward
   automatically; other stored settings reset to defaults on upgrade.

#### 1.8.4 – 2026-07-24

 * The bundled example-integration reference code has been removed from the package
   in favor of hosted developer documentation (linked from the Integration Guide
   and overridable via the sentiolm_example_integration_url filter). The guide’s
   inline code snippets are unchanged.
 * The licenses-table per-page preference is now persisted only on a nonce-verified
   filter-form submit by a user with manage_options — plain pagination links can
   no longer write the stored preference.
 * Every admin action handler (admin-post forms, AJAX endpoints, WooCommerce save
   hooks) now carries an explicit inline capability check followed by its nonce 
   verification as the first statements of the handler, replacing the shared verification
   helper so the checks are visible at every read site.

#### 1.8.3 – 2026-07-20

 * All admin inline `<script>`/`<style>` blocks moved into enqueued asset files (
   Integration Guide, Settings, Products, and the WooCommerce product panel/variation
   fields), loaded only on their owning screens via `admin_enqueue_scripts`.
 * Input-sanitization hardening: the licenses-table pagination now builds its links
   from an allowlisted, pre-sanitized parameter set instead of the raw request; 
   API credential secrets from HTTP Basic Auth are sanitized at every intake point.
 * Output-escaping hardening: white-label values interpolated into inline CSS are
   now type-sanitized (hex colors, font allowlist, tag-stripped custom CSS), and
   the My Account endpoint title filter escapes the substituted label.
 * REST security: the LMFWC/DLM compatibility shims now require a consumer key with
   write permission for license activation and deactivation (matching create/update/
   delete); telemetry opt-out deletion now requires a per-site deletion token (returned
   on each ping, stored server-side only as a hash) so third parties cannot delete
   another site’s telemetry row.
 * Example-integration reference code renamed to a unique sentiolm_example_ prefix
   throughout.
 * Admin screens now derive the REST base URL via rest_url(); fixed an unclosed 
   output buffer in the license-update handler.
 * Exhaustive follow-up audit across every shipped file: remaining inline onclick
   handlers replaced by a shared enqueued confirm helper, a declared sanitize_callback
   added to every REST route argument, and uniform unslash-plus-sanitize applied
   to every remaining request-variable read.

#### 1.8.2 – 2026-06-18

 * First WordPress.org release, revised for the directory. Self-hosted plugin/theme
   update-delivery — which served downloadable packages and fed WordPress native
   update checks for externally hosted plugins — has been completely removed: the
   public REST update endpoint, the “Plugin Releases” admin screen, the release-
   metadata database table, and all supporting code are deleted. This addresses 
   the storefront/update-delivery classification; the plugin no longer installs,
   updates, or distributes any code from outside WordPress.org.
 * Sentio License Manager is now strictly a license-management plugin: it issues
   and validates license keys for WooCommerce products and tracks per-site activations
   via a REST API — the same scope as other licensing plugins in the directory (
   License Manager for WooCommerce, Digital License Manager). It does not deliver
   software updates.
 * Unchanged: license issuance on WooCommerce purchase, per-site activation management,
   the license-validation REST API (activate/validate/deactivate), LMFWC and DLM
   migration tools, the REST API compatibility shim, and consent-gated anonymous
   telemetry.
