LearnDash Licensing & Management

As of LearnDash version 4.18.0, the licensing functionality is now included as part of the core plugin – no separate installation required. This simplifies the setup process and ensures your licensing is integrated seamlessly with the plugin.

If you’re using a version of LearnDash prior to 4.18.0, you can still manage your licenses and add-ons by updating to the latest release.

Getting the LearnDash Hub

The LearnDash Licensing and Management is the newest system behind LearnDash’s licensing system and add-on’s information. There are two ways to get the LearnDash Licensing and Management plugin on your WordPress Dashboard:

1. When you upgrade to the latest version of LearnDash, the LearnDash Licensing and Management add-on is automatically installed and activated.
2. If you don’t want to upgrade, you can go to you LearnDash account center, go to Add-ons, and download the plugin and install it on your LearnDash Site.

The LearnDash Licensing and Management Features

LearnDash Licensing and Management rehouses many of LearnDash’s old features and puts them into one convenient place where you can easily manage your license and add-ons.

Add-Ons

On the Add-ons page, under the LearnDash tab, you’ll see all your installed and available official LearnDash-supported Add-ons.

From this tab, you can see and control your add-ons. You can check their versions, turn them on or off, update them, or delete them if you don’t need them anymore. You can also perform bulk actions, such as installing, activating, deactivating, and deleting the LearnDash add-ons.

• Select the add-ons that you want to do bulk actions with.
• Select the action from the drop-down.
• Click Apply

You can manage your existing add-ons, and install new add-ons that you haven’t added to your website yet.

The Third Party tab shows you a list of other plugins that work with LearnDash. Take note however, that these plugins are not officially maintained by LearnDash and you must contact their respective authors if you encounter any issues.

There is also a link to our Documentation page in the top-right corner if you need to visit and check out our Knowledge Base.

Settings

The LearnDash Licensing and Management settings houses the new licensing system, replacing the old licensing verification system that was used previously. It also has an option giving you control on who can view the licensing system among your users.

Visibility

By default, only the admin user that installed the LearnDash Licensing and Management plugin will be able to see the the license. If you want to change this, and let others view and manage the LearnDash Licensing and Management system:

1. Navigate to LearnDash LMS > Settings > Advanced > License Visibility
2. Add a user that you want to grant access to see the licensing details
3. Click “+Add”

If a user that’s not added tries to access the license page or add-ons page, they will see this message:

Now, these users that you added will be able to view the Licensing and Management and manage your add-ons and license.

License

Found under LearnDash LMS > Settings > LMS License, from here, you can view, replace, and revoke your license with your LearnDash site.

When you first install LearnDash, this is where you will be inputting and verifying your license details to be able to active your LearnDash site, receive support, and updates for your plugins and add-ons.
