How to install and activate Enwikuna License Manager

Overview

Enwikuna License Manager can be installed and uninstalled like any other WordPress plugin. The full installation and configuration of Enwikuna License Manager on your WordPress site is an additional optional step available in the setup wizard to help with setup.

Please note that Enwikuna License Manager is an extension for WooCommerce, and therefore only works if you have WooCommerce installed.

When Enwikuna License Manager is enabled, several elements are added to your WordPress site to make Enwikuna License Manager work properly:

  • Menu items in the admin dashboard
  • Database tables
  • User Roles & Permissions
  • Cron jobs for the automation of functions
  • Folder in the file system for storing e.g. log files

Please plan about 15 minutes for installation & setup, because due to the complexity of WooCommerce can be set accordingly much.

If you have an existing WordPress site and want to install Enwikuna License Manager, using the admin dashboard is the easiest option. Alternatively, the plugin can be downloaded from WordPress (you will now find a file named enwikuna-license-manager.zip within your downloads’ folder) and installed by uploading it within the admin dashboard or the unzipped installation file to the WordPress plugins folder via FTP.
