How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

84 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 53 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 33 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 800.

At the current install trend, crossing 900+ in roughly 143 days.

   Works perfectly for our needs, and we also like that the codes of the lite version and the API client are on GitHub. Thanks a lot for this great work!

   I’ve been using the Digital License Manager plugin, and I couldn’t be happier with it. It’s simple, effective, and does exactly what it promises—no unnecessary fluff. The plugin integrates seamlessly with WooCommerce, making it incredibly easy to manage and link licenses to products. The interface is clean and intuitive, keeping my dashboard clutter-free, which I really appreciate. One of the standout features is how straightforward it is to generate and validate licenses, even for someone without extensive technical knowledge. The licensing system is robust and secure, giving me peace of mind that my digital products are protected. Another thing worth highlighting is how the plugin avoids aggressive upselling tactics. It doesn’t overwhelm you with ads or constant nudges to buy premium features. Instead, it focuses on delivering core functionality that works out of the box. If you’re looking for a reliable solution to manage digital licenses, Digital License Manager is an excellent choice. It saves time, reduces hassle, and works perfectly with WooCommerce. Highly recommended!
