  5. If you use Feature-based licensing, enter the default <license_data> that will be used when generating the License Activation Code for this Product ID (this field will not appear if you have not enabled this option).

  6. If required, you can specify Override settings for this specific PayPro Product ID. Override settings will be used instead of the Default DNA Product configuration settings when generating the License Code for this transaction:

    • Check the Override Checkbox for the override setting to be used

    • The Expiration Period will override the setting of the DNA Product

The UserPurchaseDate, License Activation Code, Buyer Email , the PayPro Transaction ID and Subscription ID are stored and available for viewing in the License View screen or for download from the DNA Control Panel under the menu Reports.

The PayPro External License Generator and IPN posts provide many other information items not required by the DNA Server. This information will not be stored by the DNA Server and will not be available once the request has been processed.

You can retrieve the complete transaction information directly from your PayPro account at any time. Please consult the PayPro web site for these options.
