Overview
To help you manage your licenses, we have provided you a table that will help you with this. You can find this table at Enwikuna License Manager > Licenses > Overview. Within the table there are several functions available, which we would like to explain in the next sections.
The licenses table has several columns, each of which contains the details of the licenses. The following columns are available:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| License key | This column contains the license key of a license. Click on the license key to copy it to the clipboard. |
| Product | This column contains the assigned product. |
| Order | This column contains the associated order of a license. |
| Customer | This column contains the customer who owns the license. |
| Hosts (Pro) | This column contains all hosts of a license, in case you have enabled this feature. |
| Activations | This column shows how many times a license has been activated and the maximum number of activations. Click on the column to display all associated license activations. |
| Expires at | This column shows when a license expires. |
| Status | This column shows the current status of a license. |
| Created | This column shows when and by whom a license was created. |
| Updated | This column shows when and by whom a license was last updated. |
| Internal note | This column shows whether an internal note has been saved for a license. Move the mouse over the icon to read the note. |
Filter, Search & Sort
In order to make the administration of the licenses as simple as possible for you, we have built in various functions:
Filter
You will find a selection of filters above the table at the right of the bulk actions, which can help you to filter licenses according to corresponding filter criteria.
Filter by status
If you want to display licenses in a particular status, you can click on the status between the table and the header. All licenses with exactly this status will now be displayed.
Search
If you want to find an explicit license inside the table, you can also use the search. Just enter the license key and start the search by pressing the button. You will now see exactly the license you were looking for (if it exists).
Sort
In addition to the filters, it is possible to sort the entries within the table. To do so, click on the blue highlighted headings of the columns. You can sort either ascending or descending.
License actions
Each license within the table has actions that allow you to modify the license. To do this, move the mouse over a license entry inside the table. You will notice that an additional section becomes visible under the license key. Here you will find various information and entries:
ID
Probably the most important information is the ID that the license has. Under this ID, the license is stored within the database. An ID is always unique and can never exist twice.
View / Edit
The first and most important action is to view or edit a license. Click on the action to go to the view or edit page of a license. You can read how to edit an existing license below.
Activate
Via the Activate action, you can activate the license. This will open a new window where you can adjust the activation and must then confirm it. The activation will set the license status to Active.
Lock
You can lock a license using the Lock action. This has the effect that any interaction with the license is prohibited for the customer.
Unlock
You can unlock a locked license by using the Unlock action. The customer can now interact again with the license.
Delete
You can delete the license using the Delete action.

The following bulk actions are available:

Import licenses (Pro)
In case you have Enwikuna License Manager Pro installed, you can import licenses. To do this, click the Import button under Enwikuna License Manager > Licenses. Please note that no activations can be imported, as these are always page-bound!
This opens the Importer, which is responsible for importing licenses. Now select a CSV or TXT file containing licenses. Next, decide whether you want to update existing licenses or not.
You can also perform an advanced import by opening the advanced options. You can alternatively specify a path to a CSV or TXT file on your server instead of selecting the file locally. You can also change the delimiter if you want to use a different delimiter. By default, a , is used as a delimiter.
Finally, start the import process by clicking the corresponding button.
You will find a sample-data folder inside the Enwikuna License Manager Pro plugin folder. Inside this folder we have placed a sample file for you, which you can use as a template. Alternatively, you can of course create a license by hand and then export that license, which will give you your own template.
Export licenses (Pro)
In case you have Enwikuna License Manager Pro installed, you can export licenses. To do this, click the Export button under Enwikuna License Manager > Licenses. Please note that no activations can be exported, as these are always page-bound!
This opens the Exporter, which is responsible for exporting licenses. Now select the data you want to export. By default, all license data will be exported.
Now, start the export by clicking on the corresponding button.
Your licenses should now be exported.
