GP Premium will not activate after entering Licence Key
10 replies · Started by Anita on August 6, 2017
Hi
I have just purchased Premium today. It won't let me activate, it keeps saying 'GP Premium 1.3.1 - Not activated" after I enter the licence key. I contacted my hosting as suggested and they have replied back saying:
'We have already allowed outgoing connection forgeneratepress.com. Please contact plugin provider and ask them to look into this.'
How can I activate the plugin I purchased?
Thanks
Anita
Hi there,
Sounds like you're trying to activate the license key - that's only so you get updates through your Dashboard. So you can already use the actual plugin settings.
However, updates through the Dashboard are good to have. Are you getting a specific error when you enter your license key and hit Update?
Hi Tom
Thanks for your prompt reply!
When I type the licence key into Appearance > GeneratePress > Customize > Updates and hit the Update key it says:
GP Premium 1.3.1 - Not activated
How do I get updates through the Dashboard?
Thanks
Anita
You should just have to paste the license key from your account into that field.
When you hit the Update button, there should be a message at the top of the page. It should either say your key has been activated, or it should give you a red message telling you why it wasn't activated. Are you not seeing any messages?
I have put the license key from my account into that field.
It just says - GP Premium 1.3.1 – Not activated.
'Not activated' is in red text. It just sits there and won't update after I hit the Update button
Can you send me temporary admin login details?: https://generatepress.com/contact/
Hi there,
I was able to use the license key you provided to activate the updates for you.
You should see Activated in Appearance > GeneratePress now :)
Wow that's a miracle! You must have the magic touch lol.
Thanks so much Tom :)
No problem!
Hi,
I've got this message after I type in the license key.
"cURL error 28: connect() timed out!"
please tell me what can I do for the next step?
