The Coinbase Payment Gateway module is licensed as a one-time purchase. No monthly or annual fees apply to this product. The license is valid for use on one WHMCS installation only. If you move your WHMCS installation to a new IP address, change the path of the WHMCS installation or change the domain name that your WHMCS installation is running under your license will need to be re-issued so that it may activate under the new location.

These terms tie the license to specific server and domain parameters to prevent unauthorized distribution while allowing straightforward ownership. The model supports long-term use of Coinbase cryptocurrency payment processing within WHMCS without recurring licensing costs. If you have any questions about the licensing of this product, please contact our sales team.

#One-Time Purchase Model

Under this licensing structure you pay a single upfront fee and the module is yours to use indefinitely on an authorized installation. There are no ongoing charges that could affect budgeting or lead to unexpected downtime if a renewal is missed. This approach is common for WHMCS payment modules because it gives operators predictable costs while ensuring the developer can sustain updates and compatibility with new WHMCS core releases and Coinbase API changes.

The absence of monthly or annual fees makes the module suitable for both small hosting businesses and larger enterprises that want to offer Bitcoin, Ethereum and other Coinbase-supported payments to their clients without adding perpetual overhead.

#Single Installation Restriction

The license explicitly permits activation on only one WHMCS instance. This restriction is enforced through environment-specific validation that checks the server IP, domain name and installation path at runtime. Running the module on additional independent WHMCS installations requires separate purchases. The policy protects intellectual property and maintains equitable licensing for all customers.

#Installation Characteristics That Define the License

  • Primary domain or subdomain under which WHMCS runs
  • Public IP address of the server hosting WHMCS
  • Filesystem path where the WHMCS files are located

#When a License Re-issue Is Required

Any change to the parameters the license is bound to will cause activation to fail. Typical triggers include server migrations that result in a new IP address, reorganization of server directories that alters the WHMCS path, or a rebrand that updates the primary domain. In these scenarios the existing license cannot validate against the new environment.

  • Moving the WHMCS installation to a server with a different IP address
  • Changing the path of the WHMCS installation
  • Changing the domain name that your WHMCS installation is running under

#Requesting and Applying a Re-issued License

Contact our sales team with your original order details together with the new IP address, path and domain. Provide as much lead time as possible before the cutover so the re-issued license is ready. Once received, the updated license key or file is entered in the WHMCS module configuration screen. Restarting the WHMCS cron or clearing the module cache may be necessary for the change to take effect.

Test the gateway thoroughly after activation by submitting a sample invoice and completing a Coinbase payment in sandbox mode. Confirm that order status updates and email notifications function as expected. This verification prevents surprises during live client transactions.

Document your current license information and exact environment details before any planned migration. Proper records streamline the re-issuance request and reduce the chance of configuration mismatches.

Takeaway: The one-time license delivers cost predictability provided you account for the single-installation rule and prepare for re-issuance when changing infrastructure. Contact sales before migrations or domain updates to keep your Coinbase Payment Gateway processing payments without interruption.
