Licensing

RelyPay is available under two license models that grant complete access to all product capabilities:

• Leased: Active subscription model with continuous software updates.
• Lifetime: Perpetual license for the installed version, with updates available via active Support & Updates.

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

Almost all of RelyPay runs regardless of license state. The one part that is license-gated is the client-area gateway-allocation filter — the visibility rule that decides which gateways a customer sees at checkout (see Allocations).

License verification operates with built-in resilience:

• Background validation: Local caching ensures licensing server connectivity issues never disrupt live checkouts.
• Fail-open safety: If a license expires, gateway allocation filtering disables and reveals all payment methods to prevent checkout blockages.
• Instant restoration: Validating an active key immediately reapplies custom allocation filters.

Where to enter and manage your key

Go to Addons → RelyPay → Global Settings → License Information.

Addons → RelyPay → Global Settings → License Information

• The License Information section shows your license status and, when applicable, your update entitlement.
• Under Manage License you enter your key in the License Key field (the placeholder looks like Leased-XXXXXXXXXX). Save it to activate.
• If no key is set yet, RelyPay shows a No License Configured state prompting you to enter one.
