About
Built by people who sell WordPress products for a living
LicensesWP is crafted by WPDevLtd — a WordPress product studio that builds self-hosted tools so indie authors, agencies, and product teams keep control of licenses, updates, and customer data.
Our story
Licensing should live on your WordPress — not a rented SaaS
We grew tired of forcing theme and plugin businesses onto third-party license platforms that lock keys, updates, and relationships behind someone else’s infrastructure.
WPDevLtd started as builders of commercial WordPress products. We needed activation limits, signed updates, WooCommerce issuance, and a customer portal — without sending buyer data to another vendor.
LicensesWP is that stack: a first-party license server you host, an SDK you embed in themes and plugins, and ops tools that feel like a product company control center.
Today we help stores and studios issue keys, protect domains, deliver updates, and grow renewals — on infrastructure they own.
The studio

WPDevLtd designs and ships WordPress products with the same care we expect from the tools we sell ourselves.

LicensesWP is our flagship for WordPress product owners who want to sell protected themes and plugins with confidence.
- WordPress-native product engineering
- Self-hosted licensing & commerce workflows
- Theme & plugin client SDKs
- Agency-ready ops, CRM, and automation
What we believe
Principles behind LicensesWP
Clear ownership, honest tooling, and product-grade ops — every release.
Own your stack
Licenses, activations, and update packages live on WordPress you host. No rented control plane between you and your buyers.
Protect every release
Domain seats, enforce gating, and signed downloads keep commercial themes and plugins under your terms.
Sell like a product company
WooCommerce issuance, subscriptions, CRM, analytics, and a customer portal reduce support while growing renewals.
Extend without fear
REST APIs, webhooks, Composer client SDK, and in-plugin developer docs for agencies and multi-brand catalogs.
