The plugin does natively allow you to moderate registration (requiring admin approval).
There is an invite codes extension available to premium support subscribers. (One important note about the extension’s current version – there isn’t a way to import codes, so if you’re thinking of having individual invite codes for a large number of people it would be rather cumbersome to manage. However, there is an update in the works to break out the invite codes to their own database table which would make it easy to import a large block of codes directly into the db.)
More info on the extension here:

If you have any questions on the extension, it is not part of the ww.wp.xz.cn repository, so contact me about that here:

Can I generate codes and send out codes to my team to use to join the site? And no one else can register unless i send the codes? How much does all this cost with what I need to make it work?
I read this section, basically I can generate one code and send it to all my 500 team members so they can register, and have a time until this code expires?
After you’ve identified your invite code field, you’ll want to add some invite codes. You can do this in the section “Create New Code”. You can enter your own code, or you can use the “Create Random Code” button to generate a random code.
The “Limit Use” checkbox identifies the code as only being allowed to be used a set number of times. (This replaces the “single use” setting from the previous version.) Specify the number of times the code may be used. For single use, you can set the number to 1 if you intend to give this code to a single person and want the code to automatically deactivate after it is used once. If the field is to be unlimited use, leave this blank.
You can give any of your invite codes a description in the Description field.
I also need to know is there any special shortcode to block the public that are not registered from seeing all 60 pages of our content along with member only video page?
So if I am correct it’s 59 a year for all extension and support for what I need to complete the member site I am building?
Getting caught up on the ww.wp.xz.cn forums. I think that we’ve connected via the support site, am I correct? Just want to double check.
