Code Snippets for Licensing Plugin

To assist with our Licensing Plugin for Developers, here are some code snippets to auto-generate license keys upon purchase, as well as other conveniences for emailing keys to customers and verifying licenses during plugin use.

All code is valid for nopCommerce v4.40, but it should not be difficult to adapt to previous versions nor for your own business needs. As always, don't hesitate to contact us with questions or suggestions!

 

Auto-generate License Keys during purchase in an OrderPaidEventConsumer.cs:

using Nop.Services.Events;
using Nop.Services.Orders;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
