Installation & Client Integration
Integrating License Boss into your commercial WordPress plugin requires only 4 lines of configuration code.
IMPORTANT
Never hardcode your master server secret in distributed client plugins. The client SDK communicates solely via public REST validation tokens and domain-bound hashes.
1. Server-Side Installation
Upload license-boss.zip to your WordPress administration dashboard via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, or install via WP-CLI:
wp plugin install /path/to/license-boss.zip --activateUpon activation, License Boss provisions 5 optimized relational tables:
wp_lb_productswp_lb_licenseswp_lb_activationswp_lb_releaseswp_lb_telemetry
2. Drop-In Client SDK
Include class-license-boss-client.php in your distributed plugin’s includes/ directory:
require_once plugin_dir_path(__FILE__) . 'includes/class-license-boss-client.php';
new License_Boss_Client([
'product_slug' => 'my-super-plugin',
'server_url' => 'https://yoursite.com/wp-json/license-boss/v1',
'version' => '1.0.0',
'plugin_file' => __FILE__,
]);3. Remote Activation Endpoint
Clients activate their purchase with a simple POST request to your licensing server:
curl -X POST https://yoursite.com/wp-json/license-boss/v1/activate
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d '{
"license_key": "LB-XXXX-YYYY-ZZZZ",
"product_slug": "my-super-plugin",
"domain": "client-site.com"
}'Successful activation returns:
{
"success": true,
"status": "active",
"product": "my-super-plugin",
"domain": "client-site.com",
"expires_at": "2027-09-26 00:00:00",
"signature": "3f98a28c41d1e44f91048b..."
