Expiration Licenses

1. Configure or create a checkout flow which does not allow anonymous checkout. /admin/commerce/config/checkout-flows
2. Configure or create an Order Type to use the checkout flow.
3. Configure or create an Order Item Type to use the Order Type, and work with Licenses.
4. Configure or create a Product Variation Type to use the Order Item Type, and provide Licenses.

Recurring Subscription Licenses

Create products that grant licenses that renew with a subscription

1. Configure or create a checkout flow which does not allow anonymous checkout.
2. Configure or create an Order Type to use the checkout flow.
3. Configure or create an Order Item Type to use the Order Type, and work with Licenses.
4. Configure or create a Product Variation Type to use the Order Item Type, and provide both Licenses and Subscriptions.
5. Create one or more products that provide licenses and subscriptions. In the product variation, configure:

Known Issues

From module README.md

License module is still incomplete, and has the following limitations:

• The admin forms to create/edit licenses are not yet complete. They should only be used by developers who know what they are doing. Changing values here can break things! /admin/commerce/licenses -- Does not work!
