# API Key Pair User Capability

 * I have some questions regarding API key pair:
    Do I need to create API key pairs
   for every customer? Or one pair for all customers is sufficient? If customers
   are independent of API key pairs creation, which user capability shall I use 
   for API key pairs? Can the customer keep **the same license** on license renewal?
   If yes, how to enable such feature?

 * [@newriffa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/newriffa/) Hi,
 * Hope you are doing good.
 * You can create key pair by defining the number of keys sold with the product.
   It can be sold from either the available stock or new ones can be generated if
   you set it this way in the product settings.
 * The license renewal functionality is not available yet. It will soon be available
   in our pro version.
 * Thanks

 * Regarding my questions, I’ve tested the following (which seems working):
    1) 
   You don’t need to issue a new **API** key pair for every customer connecting,
   only one pair is enough. 2) Only a user with Admin capability can issue an API
   key pair to access the REST API.

 * Yes, that’s correct.
