PayPal Subscription Payments
Link your registration system with PayPal Subscription Payments and charge a recurring fee for accessing your member's area. The system supports US Dollar, Pound Sterling or Euro as currency, and allows you to charge any fee for any duration of membership as you require, for example, $4.95 per 30 days or £15 per 90 days.
Automated Account Expiration
Should a user not pay their recurring membership fee, the system will automatically expire the account and suspend the users member's area access. When this occurs the user will be sent a notification including instructions of how to renew their membership. The system is entirely automated and requires no administrator intervention.
Admin Validation of Registrations
This facility allows you to validate registrations before the user receives access to the member's area. This means you can verify the user and ensure they are allowed access rather than them automatically receiving access to the member's area.
Email Address Validation/Activation
This facility ensures your users always enter a valid and active email address. The software will send a validation link via email during the registration process, the user must receive this email and select the link in order to continue the registration process. If a valid email address is not entered, the user will not receive the validation link and will not be able to activate their account.
Ten Custom Form Fields
Locked Area Pro supports up to ten custom form fields rather than the three available in Locked Area Lite.
Improved Login, Failed Login and User Statistics
The failed login system will catch any failed member's area logins so you are aware of attempted hacks, this information can then be viewed in the administration panel in a convenient statistics system. A variety of additional statistical information is also available in the Professional version.
Backup System
Simply select one button in the administration panel and Locked Area Pro will automatically backup all important user and statistical data including the main member's area database and log file. Backups are stored with a timestamp for your convenience and can be restored in a matter of seconds.
.htaccess and .htpasswd Recovery
Just incase you have a problem with your .htaccess and .htpasswd files, with one click these can be regenerated. This is vital incase of accidental deletion or corruption.

Locked Area Pro users may also remove the 'Powered by Locked Area' text and link back from the software's frontend output, e.g. the registration form and user account manager. This does not mean you may resell, re-brand or redistribute the software and you may not remove the text and link back from the administration panel.
Locked Area Pro users receive one months free technical support via the online helpdesk. Unlimited technical support is available free of charge via the support forum. Additional helpdesk support can be purchased for as little as £10 per week and can be purchased as and when it is needed, you do not need to maintain regular payments.
Note, each purchase of Locked Area Pro licenses you to use one installation of the software. If you require multiple installations you will need to purchase multiple licenses. For bulk purchase pricing, please contact us.
