Licensing

GST Manager is available under two licensing models, both providing full module functionality:

• Full feature access: Both license tiers enable all tax calculation, PDF styling, and reporting features.
• License-gated display: Client-area bank details block requires an active license.
• Key management: Keys are configured and validated under Global Settings → License Information.

The two license types

Type	What you get	Updates
Leased	Active subscription access to all features	Updates included continuously while subscription is active
Lifetime	Perpetual license for the installed version	Updates require an active Support & Updates plan

The license-gated feature

Core invoicing and tax calculations operate independently of external server uptime:

• Gated component: Client-area bank details display on customer-facing invoice views.
• Local license cache: Background local validation prevents storefront disruptions during temporary network outages.
• Uninterrupted operations: Tax calculations, PDF generations, GSTR-1 reports, and checkout workflows never stop if licensing expires.
• Restoration: Re-entering an active key immediately restores client-area bank display.

Where to enter and manage your key

Manage your license at Addons → GST Manager → Global Settings → License Information:

• Status overview: Displays license tier, validation status, and Support & Updates expiry dates.
• Key input: Enter your key into the License Key field (e.g. Leased-XXXXXXXXXX) and save.
• Initial state: Fresh installations display a No License Configured alert until activated.

Addons → GST Manager → Global Settings → License Information
