License — GNU GPL v3
Advanced Subscriptions for WooCommerce is free software. Here is what that means, in plain English.
Last reviewed: 2026-05-27
Plain-English summary
The plugin code is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3 (GPL v3). The same licence WordPress itself uses. You are free to:
- Use it on as many websites as you want — for personal, commercial, charity or any other purpose.
- Study and modify the source code for any reason.
- Redistribute copies, modified or not, as long as the same GPL v3 freedoms travel with the copy.
The licence applies to the code. It is not what entitles you to receive updates and support — those come bundled with the paid licence on top.
What the paid licence buys you
The price you pay at checkout is not a fee for the right to use the software (the GPL grants that). It is a service contract that gives you, for the term of the licence:
- Automatic updates — security and feature updates delivered straight to your WP-admin.
- Email support — bug reports, install help, integration questions.
- Activation for the agreed number of sites (1, 2 or 3 depending on the plan).
If you let the licence lapse, the plugin keeps working on the sites where it was installed. You just stop getting updates and support until you renew.
Bundled third-party code
The plugin ships with code from third parties. Each of those carries its own licence, all compatible with GPL v3:
| Component | Licence |
|---|---|
| Advanced Subscriptions plugin code | GPL v3 |
Bundled WooCommerce Redsys gateway (/includes/woo-redsys-gateway/) | GPL v2 or later |
| JS libraries used in admin UI | MIT / BSD (compatible) |
| SVG icons | Original work or CC0 / MIT-licensed sets |
Warranty disclaimer
As is standard under the GPL: the software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. We test thoroughly and ship security fixes promptly, but use in production is at your own risk. The remedies described in the Terms and the Refund policy are the maximum we offer.
