Digital license limits

One license per customer — Software licenses, digital downloads, or subscription keys that should only be purchased once per customer. Prevent redistribution by enforcing a 1-per-customer limit at checkout.

Why merchants need this

The challenge and how Nex MOQ solves it

The Problem

Without order limits

A customer buys 5 license keys and redistributes them at a discount. Your direct sales drop and you lose control over your customer relationship.

This costs you revenue, customers, or compliance — every unprotected order is a risk
The Solution

With Nex MOQ

Nex MOQ enforces a 1-per-customer limit on digital products. Use AND conditions to combine Product tag = "license" AND Customer logged in for targeted enforcement. The checkout blocks any attempt to purchase more than one, and the cart shows a clear message explaining the limit.

Set the rule once — Nex MOQ enforces it at checkout automatically
Takes under 2 minutes
