changed
private function is_license_activated() {

To:

All three Add-Ons are similar, so it will be repetitive to put the process done to the other two. Basically, the functions we are looking to modify in these Add-ons are:

-is_valid_license_key()
-is_license_activated()
-remote_activate_license_key()
-remote_deactivate_license_key()
-deactivate_license_key()

Also, if you check the modified files, you will see a "//#######" (double forward-slash with 7 hash or "pound" signs). The double forward slash is one of the PHP's comment symbols, which means that everything after the "//" is ignored in PHP. I just use it to keep track of the changes I make.

Cheers!
