AT Gateway: one screen to activate, check and update Altechmind OJS plugins
  • Paste each licence key once; it is stored encrypted and checked once a day
  • Updates start only when you click, are checked for Altechmind's signature and roll back if anything fails
  • What AT Gateway sends once a day and what it never sends

Description

One place for all your Altechmind OJS plugins. AT Gateway is a free plugin that the site administrator installs once per OJS site. From then on, every Altechmind plugin you buy is activated, checked and updated from one screen: Administration › Site Settings › Plugins › AT Gateway › Licences & updates.

What it does

  • Paste each licence key once; it is stored encrypted on your own server
  • Per-journal licences: each journal that uses a plugin takes a seat automatically
  • Licences are checked once a day in the background; you don’t need to do anything
  • One-click updates that you start yourself, only from packages signed by Altechmind, with automatic rollback if anything fails
  • Plain-language status for each plugin, plus buttons to open a support ticket or email us (your site details are added for you, never your licence key)

Safe for your journal. AT Gateway adds nothing to reader pages and never touches articles, DOIs, citation tags, OAI or indexing. If the licence server can’t be reached, plugins keep working for 7 days; after that they fall back to their free features and nothing breaks.

Privacy. It talks only to Altechmind's licence server, over HTTPS. It sends the product names, your site or journal URLs and the OJS and PHP versions, never articles, authors, readers or statistics.

Requirements: OJS 3.5, PHP 8.2 or newer. Site administrator access to install.

Setup & licensing

  1. Download AT Gateway from your Altechmind account (Licences) or the product page.
  2. Administration › Site Settings › Plugins › Upload a new plugin: choose the file, then enable AT Gateway.
  3. Administration › Site Settings › Plugins › AT Gateway › Licences & updates: paste each licence key and click Save & activate.

What it sends

AT Gateway talks only to Altechmind's licence server, over HTTPS. Once a day it sends a signature made with each licence key (never the key itself), the product names, your site or journal addresses and the OJS and PHP versions. It never sends articles, authors, readers or statistics. Licence keys are stored encrypted on your own server, and nothing is ever shown to readers. If the licence server can't be reached, plugins keep working for 7 days; after that they fall back to their free features and nothing breaks.
