UpdatePulse Server

UpdatePulse Server allows developers to provide updates for software packages, including WordPress plugins and themes. Some example use cases:

• provide updates for premium plugins or themes, with a license key
• provide custom theme or plugin updates to clients of a webdesign agency and not intended for the general public
• provide updates for a desktop software that integrates with UpdatePulse Server's update and license API

Packages may be either uploaded directly, or downloaded automatically from configured Version Control Systems, public or private. Package updates may require a license ; both packages and licenses can be managed through an API or a user interface within UpdatePulse Server.

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/updatepulse-server directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress
3. Edit plugin settings
