Discover license credentials for installed premium plugins and export them for import into [Private Packages](https://private-packages.com).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.1 or higher
- WordPress with WP-CLI

Note that plugins don't have to be activated to be discovered by this plugin.

Installation & Usage
------------------------

[](#installation--usage)

### Option 1 — WP-CLI package

[](#option-1--wp-cli-package)

Install as a WP-CLI package (no WordPress plugin activation required):

```
wp package install private-packages-com/licenses-helper
```

Then use the CLI command to discover licenses:

```
wp private-packages discover-licenses
```

### Option 2 — WordPress plugin

[](#option-2--wordpress-plugin)

**Install via zip:**

1. Download the plugin zip from the [latest release](https://github.com/private-packages-com/licenses-helper/releases/latest/download/private-packages-licenses-helper.zip).
2. Go to **Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin** and upload the zip.
3. Activate the plugin.

Once activated, you can discover licenses in two ways:

**WP Admin:** Go to **Tools > Licenses Helper**, check the plugins you want to export (all are selected by default), and click **Generate Export**. A JSON block will appear at the top of the page.

**WP-CLI:** Use the same CLI command as above.

[](#understanding-the-results)

StatusMeaning**No preset available. You can try to manually add this plugin in Private Packages. Contact us if you need help.**The plugin is not in the Private Packages list. This either means it is not a premium plugin (in which case it should be installed via [wp-packages.org](https://wp-packages.org)) or it is a premium plugin that Private Packages does not yet have a preset for. You can add it manually, or [contact us](https://private-packages.com) if you need help.**Supported in Private Packages, but can't be exported**The plugin is in the Private Packages list, but no credentials were found.
