You could involve Wordpress Ajax functionality for this: Wordpress Codex.

Save data with update_option and read it with get_option functions. This is scenerio for single license.

If you like to create collection of licenses, just like posts for example, you must create new custom post type. Then you will have post id in new post type, and you could use update_post_meta and get_post_meta.

post_meta's datas are linked to a specific post, if you want to save global data you need to use update_option and get_option.
