LearnDash Licensing & Management
LearnDash's companion plugin for licensing and updating the LearnDash product family. It checks a LearnDash licence key against the LearnDash licensing service, lists the family's projects, and shows update-related banners from LearnDash. It suits sites that run paid LearnDash products. The limit is that it does nothing useful without a LearnDash licence, and it only manages licences and updates.
Pros
- Official LearnDash plugin for licences and updates
- Licence key check from one settings screen
- Lists the LearnDash family's projects
Cons
- Needs a LearnDash licence key to be useful
- Contacts LearnDash licensing servers
- Shows remote banners fetched from LearnDash
