I was also thinking, that monthly rent is something like a subscription. He could use automatic recurring payments. That way, there would be no late fees.
* Deactivate the older version of the ‘WP eStore’ plugin from the Plugins menu.
* Unzip and upload all the new files using your FTP client (example, FileZilla) overwriting the existing eStore plugin files.
* Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
I think you got the first 2 steps reversed.
Fun fact: Some credit card companies will automatically credit your account, if the amount is less than $1, rather than send you a bill for that month; provided that you had a zero balance the previous month.
Please complete this “manual” request form, and either Amin or Ivy will respond:
Please try this… first, upgrade to the latest version (4.5.2 or higher) of eStore:

Since your download files are in eStore’s “downloads” directory, be careful that you upgrade by replacing your existing eStore files (use upgrade method “A”) as per the upgrade instructions:
http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wordpress-estore-installation-and-usage-guide-31
You have to “re-delete” the “.htaccess” file from the “downloads” directory along with that empty “index.html” file (they got restored during the upgrade).
Reactivate eStore.
Under WP eStore -> Settings -> General Settings -> Enable Debug, check the box and save the settings.
Try your download.
In the eStore plugin directory look for a “download_manager.log” file.
What dows it say?
Your server is running in PHP “Safe Mode.” In Safe Mode, the operation of certain PHP functions is restricted or ignored. The set_time_limit() function is one of them.
If you were to create a PHP file, called “test.php” containing the following one line:
<?php phpinfo(INFO_ALL); ?>
…And then execute it as yoursite.com/test.php you will get a whole bunch of stuff about your PHP configuration. One of those is “max_execution_time” under the “PHP Core” section. It specifies the maximum number of seconds any given PHP script is allowed to run.
So, by default, any file that is downloaded must be downloaded in under that number of seconds, “…or else” the Hosting Gods step in and terminate the download script. The download script attempts to “turn off” the timer.
It is preferred that you try to get your hosting provider to turn Safe Mode “off.”
P.S. If you do create the “test.php” file, please delete it after you see the information; so that your configuration remains confidential.
I just figured it out, why your counts stay at zero…
You are not limiting the number of times customers can download a particular file…
Under eStore -> Settings -> General Settings -> Digital Product Delivery Settings -> Download Limit Count, you either have left it blank or set to 999.
If there is no limit, eStore doesn’t bother keeping count, LOL!
Mystery solved
Under eStore -> Settings -> Addon Settings -> WP eStore Download Manager Related is a checkbox labeled “Automatically Convert to Relative URL.” If it is unchecked, check it. If it is checked, uncheck it. Then save the settings and try again.
Does this change anything?
Also, what did you enter for the product’s URL?
Are you talking about changing domain names? If so, according to the WordPress CODEX, you’ll have more than just eStore to worry about:
In the root level of your website, create a test.php file that contains the following line:
<?php phpinfo(INFO_ALL); ?>
Then, execute it from your browser as http://yoursite/test.php
Make a copy of whatever it gives you, and then delete the test.php file.
