Understanding WHMCS Licensing: How It Works

Introduction
WHMCS uses a licensing system to protect software from unauthorized use. Whether you’re a developer selling a module or a hosting provider, understanding licensing is essential.

License Types

• Owned License: Pay once, lifetime usage (support renewals optional).

• Monthly License: Pay monthly with continuous support and updates.

Licensing Addon for Developers
If you develop WHMCS modules, you can use the WHMCS Licensing Addon to secure your product. It supports callbacks, local keys, and IP/domain checks.

Conclusion
WHMCS licensing ensures fair software use while allowing developers to monetize and protect their products.
