Serial Key Manager

Post-installation, a new tab “Serial Key Manager” gets available in the back office from where admin can add and manage serial keys for the products.

Add new keys for Products

On clicking “Add new” button, a new form appears where admin can select the product and its combination for which he wants to generate a serial key.

After selecting the product and its combination when the admin clicks on the “Generate key” button, a serial key for a product gets created as shown below:

Admin can view serial key added under the “Keys” tab. Also, admin can edit or delete the serial key.

Admin can also generate serial keys for individual products and their combinations from the edit product page. Go to Catalog->Products->Edit product->Modules.

On clicking the “Configure” button, a form appears where admin has to select the combination for which he wants to create the serial key.

In the above screenshot, we can see the serial keys generated by admin for a product combination.

Front End Workflow

Post-installation, a new tab “Serial Keys” gets available in the customer’s account. From this tab, a customer can view all the serial keys allotted to him.

Suppose a customer places an order of the product for which admin has generated the serial keys. Now, when the status of that order changes then the module will automatically issue the serial key to the customer. If a customer has order 5 quantities of a product, then the module will issue 5 unique serial keys i.e one for each quantity.

A customer can also view the serial keys on the order details page.

View List of Products

Under “Products” tab, admin can view:

• List of products for which he has added serial keys.
• Number of keys added for a product or product combination.
• Number of used keys.
• Serial keys added for a particular product or product combination.

When admin clicks on the “View” button, he can see the order number with which he has added serial keys and the customer’s name who places the order.

Import Serial Keys

Admin can also choose to add serial keys in bulk by uploading a CSV file. In a CSV file, admin needs to enter the product id, combination id, and serial keys.

After uploading the CSV file, admin can view all the products for which serial keys have been added under “Products” tab.

Search Filters

Under “Search” tab, admin can search:

• Products on which he has assigned the keys via product name and reference.
• Orders for he has added serial keys by order id, product reference, and customer name.
• The Keys.

Error Log

Suppose admin has generated 4 keys for a combination of product ABC. Now, if a customer orders 6 quantities of that combination then in this case customer will not receive serial keys for an order. Such cases are logged under the “Error Log” tab. Admin can view for which products the serial keys are out of stock and can generate more keys.

On clicking the “View” button, admin can see the order id of an order for which the keys are not assigned due to insufficient quantity.
