The Public Pay Addon 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 give administrators cost certainty after the initial transaction while binding the license to concrete server and domain identifiers. The binding prevents casual redistribution and ensures each production deployment is correctly licensed. Planning around these rules avoids activation failures after routine server maintenance, domain transfers, or hardware refreshes. Document your current IP, path, and domain at activation so you can supply accurate before-and-after data if a re-issue becomes necessary.

#One-Time Purchase Model

The one-time purchase structure means you pay once and retain perpetual use rights on the licensed installation without further recurring charges. This model removes the budgeting pressure that subscription-based modules impose and lets you treat the cost as a capital expense rather than an ongoing operational line item. Because no renewal is required to keep the module functional, long-term ownership costs remain predictable. The absence of forced renewals does not affect eligibility for support or future patches; those are handled separately through standard channels.

#Single Installation Restriction

Each license permits activation on exactly one WHMCS installation. You cannot reuse the same license key on additional WHMCS instances even if they belong to the same organization. Separate installations, whether for development, staging, or distinct client portfolios, each require their own license. This limitation is enforced at the activation layer by checking the unique combination of IP address, filesystem path, and configured domain. Administrators running multiple WHMCS environments must purchase a license for each to remain compliant.

#Triggers Requiring License Re-Issuance

The license is cryptographically tied to the environment details captured at initial activation. Any deviation invalidates the activation check. The module will refuse to load until a re-issued license matching the new details is installed. The three events that routinely trigger this requirement are server IP changes, installation path modifications, and domain name updates. Preparing for these events by notifying the sales team in advance reduces downtime for features that depend on the addon.

  • Moving the WHMCS installation to a server with a different public IP address
  • Changing the filesystem path where the WHMCS files reside
  • Altering the primary domain name that WHMCS is configured to run under

When any of the above changes occur, compile the old and new values for IP, path, and domain. Submit them to the sales team along with your original order reference. The team will generate an updated license file or activation token that reflects the current environment. Install the new credentials following the module's standard activation procedure. The addon should then validate and resume normal operation.

#Requesting Support for Licensing Questions

Direct any questions about these licensing terms, activation problems after infrastructure changes, or requests for re-issuance to the sales team. Provide your original purchase details and a clear description of the environment change. Response times are typically within one business day. Keeping a record of your license file and activation date simplifies future interactions should you migrate hardware again.

Review your current server IP, WHMCS path, and domain name before any planned migration or rename. Compare those values against the details tied to your existing license. Contact sales early in the planning phase to obtain a re-issued license in advance. This practice eliminates last-minute activation blocks and keeps the Public Pay Addon available without interruption.
