License Verification

**Package:** olakunlevpn/laravel-installer-license

Adds a step that verifies purchase codes via your API.

#Install

composer require olakunlevpn/laravel-installer-license

Done. The step registers automatically.

#Setup your API

The package calls your API to verify licenses.

**Set API URL:**

.env:

LICENSE_API_URL=https://api.yoursite.com/verify

**Your API receives:**

{
    "license_key": "xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "domain": "customer-site.com"
}

**Return this for valid licenses:**

{
    "success": true,
    "message": "License verified",
    "data": {}
}

**Return this for invalid licenses:**

{
    "success": false,
    "message": "Invalid license key"
}

That's all your API needs to do.

#Database table

The verified license saves to a licenses table.

Create the migration:

php artisan make:migration create_licenses_table

Schema::create('licenses', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->id();
    $table->string('license_key');
    $table->string('email');
    $table->json('data')->nullable();
    $table->timestamp('verified_at');
    $table->timestamps();
});

The package saves data automatically after installation completes.
