Custom License Unit Label for SaaS and Applications

Our platform just got even better for selling multiple licenses for SaaS and Applications! Traditionally, Freemius associated licenses with “site activations,” which worked well for WordPress products. However, for SaaS and applications, this approach didn’t always make sense.

Starting today, you’ll find a new setting in your Developer Dashboard that allows you to customize the license unit label. For example:

• For a SaaS product, you might sell “Seats”.
• For an Application, you might sell “Activations”.

To configure this, navigate to your product’s Settings page and locate the Selling Unit Label option. Simply enter the singular form of the unit (e.g., “Seat” or “Activation”), and our system will handle the rest.

You will see that with this update:

The checkout dropdown will display the relevant unit labels.

Similarly license-related emails sent by our system will include the custom unit label.

Important Notes

For Applications, which require license activation by default, our system will always include the custom unit label in emails. However, for SaaS products, this depends on whether you have chosen to expose the license key to users.
