Licensing

PhonePe for WHMCS offers two license models that provide full gateway functionality:

• Leased: Active subscription including continuous software updates.
• Lifetime: Perpetual license for the installed build with optional Support & Updates renewals.

The two license types

Type	What you get	Updates
Leased	Works while the license is active.	Updates included for as long as it stays active.
Lifetime	Perpetual use of the installed version — you own it forever.	Newer versions need an active Support & Updates plan.

The license-gated feature

The license directly controls payment processing:

• Active license: Customers select PhonePe and complete invoice payments normally.

• Inactive license: PhonePe payment processing is suspended until a valid key is configured.

• Outage tolerance: Local background validation tolerates brief licensing-server outages without disrupting checkouts in progress.

• Isolated scope: An inactive license only affects PhonePe processing; other WHMCS gateways and billing features remain functional.

• Restoration: Renewing your license or entering a valid key immediately restores PhonePe payment processing.

Keep the license active

Because the license gates payments, an inactive license means customers can't pay you through PhonePe. Renew before a Leased term ends, and keep your key current.

Where to enter and manage your key

Your license key lives in the gateway configuration, not in a separate addon panel. Go to Setup → Payment Gateways → PhonePe and enter your key in the License Key field, then Save Changes.

Setup → Payment Gateways → PhonePe

• Exact entry: Paste the key exactly as shown in your relyweb.co client area without extra whitespace.
• Activation: Click Save Changes to validate the key and enable payment processing.
• Validation check: Invalid or missing keys keep PhonePe processing disabled until resolved.
