Commands

​
Creating a New License

The /createlicense command allows you to generate new licenses for your plugins through an interactive interface.
All license creation interactions are ephemeral, meaning only you can see them.

​
Steps to Create a License:

  1. Type /createlicense in any channel
  2. A dropdown menu will appear showing your available plugins
  3. Select the plugin you want to create a license for
  4. Fill out the license details in the modal:
    • User: The user who will be assigned the license, as a string
    • Max IPs: Maximum number of IP addresses allowed to use this license, as an integer
    • Expiry Date: When the license will expire
When setting the expiry date, use the format DD/MM/YYYY (e.g. 01/01/2024).

​
Editing an Existing License

Use the /editlicense command to modify the details of an existing license.

​
Command Usage:

/editlicense <licenseKey>

​
Parameters:

  • licenseKey: The license key that you’d like to edit
After entering the command with a valid license key, a modal will open allowing you to update:
  • User: The user who will be assigned the license, as a string
  • Max IPs: Maximum number of IP addresses allowed to use this license, as an integer
  • Expiry Date: When the license will expire
Make sure you have the necessary permissions to edit licenses before using this command.

​
Best Practices

  • Keep your license keys secure and don’t share them publicly
  • Regularly review active licenses to ensure they’re assigned to the correct users
  • Set appropriate IP limits based on your plugin’s intended use case
  • Consider setting reasonable expiration dates to maintain control over license distribution

​
Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues:
  • Verify the bot has the necessary permissions in your Discord server
  • Ensure you’re using the correct command syntax
  • Check that the license key exists when using /editlicense
  • Contact support if you continue experiencing problems
