Only available with WooCommerce License Keys extended plugin.
You can opt to handle your license keys with subscriptions using the Subscriptio plugin. WooCommerce License Keys will integrate itself with the subscriptions plugin the moment both are activated.
Are you using Subscriptio version 1 or 2? Be aware, upgrading to version 3.0 is not possible yet.
How to configure a subscription?
Check the “Subscription” checkbox to make the license key a subscription, This will enable subscriptio’s inputs in the general tab of the product data.
Notice that the “Expire” setting is not enabled for the subscription. This is because the expiration and most of the validity of the license key will be handled and set by Subscriptio.
