Freemius for SaaS – Ability to expose license keys to buyers

In yet another improvement for “Freemius for SaaS”, we are pushing the ability to expose license keys to the buyers. During our previous update, we removed the license keys for SaaS products. We thought license keys were not relevant for SaaS. However, after having some discussions with our makers, we understood, that for some SaaS it is preferred to expose license keys. It becomes handy when a subscription is canceled mid-term and you want to keep the features active until the license itself expires.

So in this iteration, we are giving the option to show license keys to customers for SaaS products.

Go to the “Settings” page from your Developer Dashboard. You will find a new section labeled “License Keys”. From there you can enable or disable the visibility of license keys for your customers.

If this is disabled, then none of the payments or subscription emails will have the license key-related information. By default, this setting is disabled for SaaS products. If you want your customers to see the license keys, then please enable this configuration explicitly.
