Now you can protect your original works from unlawful usage with an automatically generated purchase code which is individual for each product. It is issued during the purchase process and is mated with the product’s License Certificate.
With its help, every author can determine if purchased assets are used according to all the terms and regulations. The purchase code will work for uploaded templates and plugins presented on the TemplateMonster marketplace and covered by the MonsterONE subscription.
It’s really important to have the purchase code. We’ll show you how to create a Purchase code and why it’s so helpful in a short walkthrough video.
How to Protect Products with a Purchase Code?
The use of the purchase code is not mandatory. Each author chooses whether to use it or not. If you decide that your items should have it, there are a couple of things to consider:
- It will prevent the violation of copyrights and minimize damage to your web assets.
- The purchase code can be used for templates and plugins only.
- The purchase code is not required. Meaning you can still upload products and continue selling them without it.
- Please follow the API instructions once you decide to validate the purchase code.
