This option is only available for WooCommerce License Keys (extended) premium plugin.
This option will allow you to manage your custom license key codes in CSV files. You can insert, edit and delete custom codes using this import feature (located on the actions menu on the management page or on products with the “Do not auto-generate codes” option checked).
How to import a CSV file?
The license keys modal manager will appear after clicking the “Import” action.
Download template
Click the button labeled “Download template”, located at the bottom right of the modal, to download an empty CSV template file that contains the required headers on the first row.
Upload file
Click the blue “Choose file” box to make the browser ask you to search for a file and begin the import process.
Once a file is selected, the import process will begin immediately.
Importing
A bar will appear showing the import progress.
The process will import the data in batches of 20 records per server call.
Sit down and wait until the process is finished. DO NOT CLOSE THE WINDOW or the process will be stopped.
Import results
The results of the import will be shown after the process is completed, displaying the counts of records inserted, updated, deleted or with errors; displaying in a grey box the import log with the results per record processed.
From here you can opt to import a new file or close the modal.
CSV File
The CSV file is structured with the following columns (headers must be present):
- code: Custom license key code. This header and column should always be included in the file.
- product_id: Product ID usage restriction. License keys restricted, can only be used on set products.
- to_delete: Integer flag that indicates if the license key should be deleted from the system.
Updates / Edits
The import process can only update/edit the product_id of a license key. If you need to modify the code, you will need to edit the record manually.
Deletions
Set the value of the to_delete column to 1 to indicate to the process that the license key should be deleted.
