Is It Currently Possible For Blesta Licensing Manager To Add Seperate Addons That Can Be Purchased?


Question

Posted

Is it currently possible for blesta licensing manager to add seperate addons that can be purchased? You know like a extra function in a script that can be purchased separately(like a addon to a license for a script)

let me explain what I am asking I am trying to do I want to be able to have a api in my script that is in there but isn't activated or works unless a separate addon for the script is purchased to enable it and the licensing manager checks whether that addon is purchased/active or not and if it is it enables the extra functionality otherwise it denies access to the extra functionality and only lets the main part of the script work.

Blesta do have addon feature,

 

And as per licensing manager, it's will depend how you will implement license check in your script/software code.

 

I'm not using Blesta addon, but had a like similar case where I wanted a single license key, can be used at no price supplement with 2 woocommerce payment gateway plugins:

 

- so there is the standard payment gateway plugin (install always needed), customer fill their license key in parameters

 

and

 

- micropayment payment gateway plugin (optional), no license key to fill, but there is an automation in my script to check if standard plugin is installed and have valid license status.

 

 

in my case when stored license status is not valid, it's always do a remote check with license server.

 

License status come also from a dailly check with license server, and also at each admin login (this last case is usefully to force on demand a license check),

 

so for your given case, just implement the best logic that suit for you in your script, and you could need to store license check result locally at your script install or local database.

 

 

In my opinion you should stay away of Blesta addon as it's will add a layer of complexity and I'm not sure how expiration date will be managed by Blesta as each addon can start at different data than the "master" item they are coupled, etc ....so, in a licensing case I feel Blesta addon should not be used, but would like to know other opinions.
