External services

Legacy Content Control Pro licensing

Content Control’s free features do not require an external service. When an active Content Control Pro version older than 1.3.0 is installed, a temporary compatibility layer connects to Content Control’s licensing service so the existing Pro license can be activated, deactivated, and checked while Pro is being upgraded.

These requests send the license key, site URL, Content Control Pro product identifier, requested licensing action, and WordPress environment type. License-status checks also send the product name “Content Control Pro”; deactivation requests send “Content Control.” Requests occur only for these legacy Pro installations during license actions and daily license-status checks.
